Analysis of Shy
Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)
I am quiet when you get to know me.
Not talking too much or too less.
I am not silent about my situations.
Because of this people
wish to silence me.
I can be shy to approach people now.
I wasn't shy to ask people out to be with them back then.
To want someone and become their love.
Not wishing to be boring.
I can be shy because my conversation approach is a bit bland.
