Conversationalist

I’m not much of a conversationalist 
But there’s not much I can do 

Paranoid that this is frowned upon
As being just slightly rude

It’s a shyness issue a part of me
Is it better said or gone without
Inside of me I scream and shout

Too many people and I just shut down
Feelings sometimes I’m looked upon as weak
An easy target like I’m asleep

I’m fully aware of what‘s going on
Just I’m conversation sparse
A quiet person that’s all I am
No harm to no one 

Just want to be accepted as the quiet man
I’m just not much of a conversationalist 
And there’s not much I can do
