She smiles through a thousand tears
so that no one knows her aches and fears
consumed by great shyness
that swallows her whole
so that no one sees the fire burning in her soul
she never speaks up says nothing at all
afraid someone will notice if she should happen to fall.
Trying to hide
disappear from the crowd
feeling left out like she's not allowed
locks everything up
where it never comes out
so no one can feel her worry and doubt
longing for the day
when she'll finally be free
so that people can see
that she really is me.

nice poem...i really liked it... the words "noone" should be "no one", right?

Hello, shygirl
I can see that what has been held captive within, is making itself known.
And with this, can start to see you.

You do good work.

As a former 'shy girl' I can tell you that even an extrovert isn't really who they say they are and still feels locked up. It's all a matter of discovering what it is that connects with your innerself.
Kudos on a wonderful piece.
