Shyness is an emotion I always struggled to overcome.
Back in the day I was so shy to the point I was feeling numb.
I struggled to fit in throughout high school I felt I was bullied too.
I never had the courage to do the things I really wanted to do.
I was so shy I couldn't stand up for myself I allowed people to walk over me.
For many years I wore a mask and wouldn't allow the world to see.
The person behind the mask was hiding a lot of pain.
It took a long time for the mask to come off but still the scars remain.
Today it's still a struggle but I'm proud of how far I have come.
I've learned new skills that brought me out of my shell and I can see the sun shine again.
I'm thankful for the supports and help I received that gave me a new lease on life.
Today I don't see myself as shy, just a quiet girl who has finally found her voice.
