Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Painfully Shy

No one notices
Those warm gentle eyes
That modest hesitant demeanor

Hiding snug in a corner
Behind a veil of haze
Painfully uncomfortable

Hiding symptoms of your mania
Still and hardly breathing
Afraid to attract attention

A hint of loneliness revealed
Inner sanctum no one sees
Not meant to be shared

Hovering through life
Translucent barely there
