That girl
Who was painfully shy
Afraid of her own shadow
Afraid anyone would know
What was going on
What was happening to her
She didn’t dare breathe a word
To anyone
Kept everything to herself
Kept her feelings on a shelf
Tucked away
Out of sight
Fearing if anyone knew
They’d get a real fright
Was that really me?

It may also be the most authentic part of you, not shared for fear of consequences.
