This was me.

Shy One

by Jodi Ann Anderson

I hid behind my mama's legs.
afraid,
I answer the door.
but I just stand there saying nothing.
 
at school,  I just sat there.
scared,
I can't raise my hand.
please don't call on me.
 
I need the bathroom.
help!
will you get mad if I ask?
I wet my pants.
 
my brother is sick.
oh!
I'm feeling sick too.
I can't go to school alone.
 
I need to get a haircut.
no!
please don't make me call!
i don't know what to say!
 
I would go to prom.
shy,
there is this boy.
would he say no?
 
I have to give a speech.
please!
I just can't do it!
I'm going to throw up.
 
I don't want to be shy
But,
I know someday I will break out of this silent prison.
