Shy

By Stephanie Sideways

Hi
My name is stephy
and I hide behind type
because I am so shy.

I suffer diffidence.
So I started to write.
And then I couldn't stop .

The shyness steels my words.
Sense falls from broken string,
like helpless beads slipping

Unfastened anxiety.
A clumsy splattering
of awkward utterings.

So I deal in writing,
arrange the beads with zeal
and tie the bloody string

I don't know what I think
until I lay it down
in the comfort of ink.

    Damned if that isn't what I do too. My problem stems from being on a debate team in highschool, where we had to take both sides of the same argument. So I have very few things etched in stone, apart from the immoral and illegal. Cheers Stephy, and this piece speaks to us all!
