Mr Introvert

I'm scared to speak, my heart beats fast, Fear of judgment, fear of being last, My words get jumbled, my voice does quake, I'm an introvert, my heart does ache. When called to speak, I feel like I'm falling, My words get stuck, my voice keeps calling, I want to pour out my heart, but I'm afraid, Of being wrong, of not being well received or praised. But being an introvert doesn't mean I'm weak, I've got wisdom to share, I've got words to speak, I've got to dig deep, to find the perfect way, To bless the community, to seize the day. Don't let fear hold you back, don't procrastinate, Come out of your shade, don't hesitate, Your hidden heart will stay hidden, until you share, Your wisdom, your words, your voice, your care. Being yourself is key, don't be afraid, Your uniqueness is what the world has made, So come out, speak up, don't be shy, Your voice matters, your words can fly. You got this, don't let fear take control, You're strong, you're brave, you're worthy of goal, Come out of your shade, shine your light, You'll be amazed at what you can ignite. Your voice is powerful, don't let it fade.

As an introvert myself I can relate. I've learned through repeated practice to sort of put on a different skin when in front of groups...I ACT like an extrovert and over time I've gotten good at it...and some people are surprised to find out I'm actually quite the introvert.

Could you possibly be one of the 54% of Americans who claim they would rather die first than speak publicly? This percentage has not shifted much over the years either in all the polls taken... ~ Psycho-Babbler

What do you think about the relationship between introversion and public speaking?

Poetry can certainly be a viable outlet for the shy and introverted. There's a freedom in writing. Nice one Abe
