Shyness

It reveals itself freely without rationale, a natural inheritance, untraditional. Shown to strangers, yet hidden from friends. Revealed in dangers, concealed in amends. The softer the approach, the easier it leaves, but when given reproach, it's worn on the sleeves. There is no fear to show this to most, but it's withheld from those who are close.

Thanks all. This was something I wrote several years back before joining here and must have been too shy to post it. :)

I agree with Richard, a bit of shyness is enduring... but too much, i guess can be difficult..

A bit of shyness can be very endearing. When it is shed it becomes a special gift.
