Shy
Does being shy encase me
like a boxed barbie doll?
Do I need to be forward
to get anywhere at all?
I close my eyes and
wonder what will it take
for you to realize
that I could be a candidate
just because I'm shy doesn't
mean that I'm scared to date
If anything I fear being left alone
a boxed jewel while the hookers roam
people jest and jilt
as I put my standards higher
than a clown on Stilts
and when I do lower my guard
for those select few
they poke and they damage
until my walls go back up
with peep holes through
I use being shy as a precaution
but it doesn't mean I'm not ready
I hate being encased
so please come get your machete
and cut a way through to me
so we can finally go steady
