Carolyne Lloyd-Hartley Poet Rhyme

Scars of the Past

The corner of the coffee shop
I sit and drink my tea
Hustle and bustle all around
Still nobody sees me

Invisible to all about
No eye contact I make
Lonely every single day
My choice or is it fate

I'd love to laugh and chat along
To giggle with the rest
I just can't seem to take that leap
I try my very best

This is not what I had planned
seclusion not my aim
I really want to shake there hand
or tell someone my name

Contorted with miss-trust from youth
I cannot take the chance
Alone I'll be for my entire
Will never taste romance

Sara Kendrick April 25, 2010 at 4:46 AM Great write....Very descriptive of emotion...Maybe love will come ....Being shy is inherited...It is a personality trait that came to you from someone in your family with a little help you can become a little more outgoing...Keep the creative pen flowing...Oh! The world needs those that are willing to listen also and shy people can do that very well...Sara
