Unbrave
Shyness was my companion for years
Putting me down the horizon every day like the setting sun
A spectacular scene it was
Only I never rose
Always dusk and never dawn
I stuck to her for she made life comfortable
Together we did nothing
Everyday was an endless party of Merry nothings
I was drunk on anxiety and fear of the unknown
Intoxicated by her charm and stopped of value
Very many years down the road and starting to gray
Yet in all our years she gave me nothing
She did make sure I stayed her where it was "safe"
She called it "comfort zone"
and from there I watched all my dreams disperse
Turned my back on opportunity one time
Gave up on love at another
Buried my voice later
and every time she said, "it's okay it doesn't matter"
So, the world dared me and crushed me and at last I learnt that her real name was Timid
