Don't Look Behind the Curtain

Location

My fear of pulling back the curtain,

truly are for certain.

Everyone looking at me,

makes me less free.

Self conscience of my looks,

I’d rather shove my face in books.

Scared to sing out loud,

all because of a crowd.

Fear of public speaking,

guess makes me a bit of a weakling.

Not wanting people seeing,

and hearing.

Afraid of people seething,

makes me unbelieving.

Afraid to show my inner sparkle,

makes me feel much like a turtle.
