The Constant Spotlight Dilemma

if my shyness was a loquacious
heartbeat helping me to live, 
would you give it a gentle massage
to help keep it alive
accentuation in certain aspects can 
be so ridiculously overblown
so much so that the expressive inside
is often overlooked
if my bashfulness was an extrovert
helping me to express myself,
would you rub its belly to break up
the stressed flatulence 
exclamatory undertones can have 
such absurd overtones
so much so that the pathway to God's 
Blessing almost always goes unnoticed
