Listening In

Do you sit and listen
Quietly on the side
Does your lack of confidence
And shyness override
A desire to enter
Into a debate
Why are you perspiring
Getting into such a state
Open up your mouth
And start to relate
On experiences and subjects
That interest you
Your input is relevant
It gives a different point of view
Once you realise this
It may make you grin
You can share the knowledge gained
From the outside looking in
