Shyness is not something unfamiliar to me

It isn’t easy talking to people new

And if you knew me, you’d see

 

But fear unceasingly grew

And being antisocial was second nature

Hence, the people I knew were few

 

People said ‘Don’t be immature

‘You must make friends, learn to speak up’

All this brought was displeasure

 

So I told myself, ‘It’s time to lift my chin up’

And I made some friends, had some fun

Life seems a little sweeter, things were looking up

 

Tried writing in Terza Rima, so the rhyme scheme is aba bcb cdc ded. This was a little challenging since I had to stick to a pre-written rhyme scheme
