Shy Guy
Shy Guys
Quiet, average
Never in front of the class, always at the fringes of a
group,
never in the spotlight of attention
Shy Guys
Sometimes there, but mostly invisible
They are always aware of their surroundings
yet their surroundings aren’t
always aware of them
Shy Guys
Concealing their emotions and life in a plain white mask
Hiding both blemishes and beauty
Both flawless and imperfect at the same time
Shy Guy
A closed clam for somebody
Someday
To pry open and reveal something
Someone vibrant and priceless, valuable and precious
A brilliant, sparkling pearl of attitude and emotion
from an ordinary bland white façade
of a shell
Shy Guy
