Shyness Spirals




Peeking from behind a door jamb
Slipping quietly down the stairs
Trying to be invisible in the crowd
Feeling left out and lonely
Desperate to be unnoticed
Spiraling inner energy
Threatens to shatter the soul


“Clearly she was expected to say something, but panic 
at having to speak stole the thoughts from her head.”
~ Shannon Hale, The Goose Girl
