Born, slowly growing up, then fast
Easy, flows like water, but doesn't last
Gently, conversation flowed without a thought
In a few years though, gave up all but timid tries at talk
Now she is too afraid to let her voice be loud
Never will she attempt to stand out in a crowd
In everything she does, she's scared
No matter how much she'd mentally prepared
Gotta conquer this fear, she knows she has to
She'll fight to let her real self through.

Got an invitation. To a party at your house. I'll either be the life and soul. Or quiet as a mouse. Thinking of an outfit. New shirt for the day. Seen one that I really like.
That brilliant stereotype, I'm not confident, I can barely look her in the eye, But I know hers are beautiful, I really like her, She would like me, If I could tell her, But I can't I'm the quiet shy...
On the brink of something new, Should I fly, is it too soon. If I fall, I'm scared I'll crash... Is it worth the break and smash.
Where has my confidence gone . Right now I feel so useless. I'm hoping this won't last long, All I attempt is fruitless. Where has my confidence gone . Right now I feel so ugly.
I need to work out how to live up to everyone's expectations, I've always been so good getting the right qualifications.
#confidence I have been handicapped by severe shyness all of my life. It isn't really a lack of confidence but that is the effect it has.
Hypocrites disease, Yes we all aim to please, Pleasuring ears with words and sentences, Of tiny lies and pretences, we of Course pretend to be something we're not, Ripened beings, the pick of...
I get scared a lot. I do fear a lot. I fear, it's a prison. I fear your rejection. I fear, that I will fail, but with you I can't fail. I fear love the most, but I know you love me most.
@AprilMayJune That's always so amazing to find out. I often feel like I'm alone. I tell myself I'll just act like a confident girl that attracts people, even if it just an act. But I can never seem to do it.
@AprilMayJune It's so easy it your mind, but actually doing it is another whole thing. :/ It's gonna be a fight but we aren't incapable.

@lunafrost Thank you! Yes, it's something many of us face, it seems. We don't all have that inborn sense of confidence and leadership that a lucky few possess! 😂
