Shy heart

[schnee]

ponyphonic - Shy Heart

Be yourself, they say, but be assertive

Hold your ground but do not be unkind

I have sought to be both lamb and lion

Heartache is the thing I tend to find

Can I only have what I can capture

Will I be unheard unless I shout

Clamor overwhelms me and I wonder

What is there to be so loud about?

Many are the musings of my shy heart

Though precious few are spoken out aloud

How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style

And send them out like magic through the crowd

Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid

I wouldn't shrink away and disappear

I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all

I only want to know they know I'm here

I can wear a mask of pluck and power

But it never says what I intend

Words become like scissors in my keeping

And friendships are so difficult to mend

I don't want to shout above the babble

I'm not even sure what I would say

Maybe just, "Excuse me, could we maybe

Be a little quieter today?"

Many are the musings of my shy heart

Though precious few are spoken out aloud

How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style

And send them out like magic through the crowd

Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid

I wouldn't shrink away and disappear

I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all

I only want to know they know I'm here

Part of me has things she wants and wishes

Part of me is worried she is wrong

Part of me is busy masquerading

As a girl whose pieces get along

I don't mean to come across as distant

I don't think it adds to my mystique

I just find it difficult conversing

And think an awful lot before I speak

Many are the musings of my shy heart

Though precious few are spoken out aloud

How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style

And send them out like magic through the crowd

Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid

I wouldn't shrink away and disappear

I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all

I only want to know they know I'm here

I've been feeling like Fluttershy a lot lately.
