Shyness Poems

I found these poems about shyness. I think they are lovely, sad and heartfelt.

SHY by Kristen
Timid eyes
Seeking out an answer
A lump in the throat
Attacking like a cancer
Small dull emotion
All that can be shown
Hear a faint cry
As you lie there all alone
Envious of ideal
Images to be
The solemn, barren face
Is all that they can see
Reflections in the mirror
Are as good as it can get
Loneliness is no lost
Stranger to be met
Sadness is the base
For strength that you will gain
For now throw on a smile
And dry up all the rain



A poem by Dannii SHY
DO YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE SHY?
TO WISH THE GROUND WOULD SWALLOW YOU UP,
TO SOMETIMES JUST WISH YOU COULD DIE,
TO BE SO CRIPPLED WITH FEAR
YOU NEVER LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL
TO JUST SIT ALONE
AND CRY AND CRY
TO ASK YOURSELF WHY?
TO ALWAYS FEEL AS IF YOUR BEING WATCHED
WHEN REALLY YOUR NOT
TO NEVER BE ABLE TO FEEL AT EASE
AND ALWAYS BE EAGER TO PLEASE
TO ALWAYS FEEL THE 'ODD' ONE OUT
TO ALWAYS HAVE THAT HORRIBLE SELF DOUBT.



By Gerard Williams
Shadow
i am
the shadow
walked all over
cast
upon the wall
unnoticed
hiding in the night
hiding from the light

Inspiring Thoughts

Today I share with you other people's words. I believe they speak about the struggle you are having with your shyness. These quotes are truthful and inspiring. Take a look at them and see how they speak to you. Do they motivate you? Perhaps they will put you on a new path. Perhaps they will offer you an opening to make the change you wish.


Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Helen Keller

With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. Keshavan Nair

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Anne Dillard

The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. Charles Dubois

The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. Gloria Steinem

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. M Scott Peck
