final poem & graphic

Shy, Scared, and Alone

Full of such passion and grace

I gain respect and confidence

Easy-loving - sure can be

Being friendly can sometimes be

My biggest weakness

Although there is the pain

And disappointment

I focus on greatness

Heart-throbbing, tears falling

I’m afraid

Taken away

Into a place unknown

People think of it as an underworld

I call it life

So much heart and so much to give

I lose myself

Now, it feels like I’m trapped

Sucked

Scheming a way out

And can only wish to be free;

To break the chains of which I’m held
