The thoughts and conclussions
I come to,
Enlightning perceptions to
Imagine through your life
You tried to explain and figure the world
All this is flowing driving you mad
Explaining thoughts i had..
Twisting your brain
While the other goes insaine
Worry only holds you back
Fear keeps you safe
Break free
Through the sides
Over come what makes you shy

another great poem! Misspelled words though...but still a great poem!

ryun: the structure and verse is good, but honestly i dont like the idea behind the poem... i can understand if this is directed to a certain individual, but being shy isn't a disease or something that needs to be "fixed" (except in extreme cases)... it's the natural disposition of 25% of the world's population... i dont mean to sound like i'm attacking your idea, i'm really not, i'm just trying to explain why i had an adverse reaction to this   see, when i was young i was very shy (and still am to some degree)... everyone kept trying to make me be more extroverted and the only thing that happened was that i withdrew more and more from the world... you can't approach an introvert by forcing them to be extroverted, rather you have to start softly and slowly and work your way into their heart, then you can help them work their way out...  

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge
