Shyness

Introversion 
Just home from an art exhibition 
brought a couple of poetry to read 
but I didn’t stay long left my books 
on a shelf and sneaked out. 
In the old days a glass of red win or 
so helped me overcome my natural 
shyness, but my hands were shaking 
spilling the water in my glass on to 
the canape 
My shyness is the bane of my life I‘m 
supposed to sell books not give them away 
It is a phobia and it appears there are 
Many this suffer from this annoying 
crawling obsession.
