Why Can'T I

What is it that keeps me from speaking, why is it I can't? I want to talk to people but something says no. Something 
says it's too dangerous. What is it that creates that fear. To want to hide in a shell and just lock yourself away. 
Something keeps me in the dark, something keeps me from the outside world. What is it? Why can't I show who I 
am to the world? Why must I remain in the dark?
