My Shyness

Talking to new people has always been a nightmare
Some people can talk and make new friends easy
To me it’s as scary as a grizzly bear
My face gets red and my stomach gets queasy

It has always been frustrating and disappointing to me
When i finally think “I’m going to talk today” 
But when the time comes I get nervous and freeze
I get upset and just think I’ll just try again another day

I would have more friends and fun in my life
If I didn’t have to be so shy

Samantha, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
