I used to be terminally shy,
Infact I wonder how I ever got by,
At a friends house I’d hide away,
Thinking I have nothing to say,
People would try to winkle me out,
My friends knew better and would shout,
” Leave her be, she’ll be alright”,
“She prefers it when she’s out of sight”,
They knew me well which was really lucky,
It took me a while to discover my “plucky”,
But why I did I suppose I know,
My bravery was put on show,
When you are loved and appreciated,
You can face the World and not feel defeated,
Those brave steps were made by me,
Because those around me let me be.
