Who told you that your shyness
doesn’t make you strong?
Who told you that the way you are
is limited and wrong?
Inside you lies a silent strength
that rests behind your eyes.
It can notice people bluffing
and can see between two lies.
Your quiet is a shield with which
you guard a loyal heart,
and in a world full of false-heartedness
the way you guard it is an art.
Shyness doesn’t mean that you
don’t live your life out loud;
it means that you have strength
and for that I hope you’re proud.
