Poetic Verses
Dumbfound Fear
The doorbell suddenly rang
and I wondered who it could be,
my heart sank to my stomach
and a few words came to me.
It only took about a minute
as the chills went down my spine,
I stuttered and held my breath
and tried to speak just fine.
My body just kept trembling
then my hands felt prickly numb,
I had answered the front door
and struggled with my dumb.
I want to feel that inner peace
overcome my tensed up fear,
where shyness turns to courage
and my words are spoken clear.
When I first meet a person
I don't want to seem so scared,
nor fumble with my words
because I was caught unprepared.
It isn't hate I feel towards you
that causes me to walk away,
if you ever come to see me
I may not have much to say.
I hope you can understand
the fear that I have known,
I may struggle with you face to face
and even stutter on the telephone.
and I wondered who it could be,
