Why am I so slow to speak, Is it simply that I’m meek? Or, on any given day, I’ve just got nothing to say

Or another reason why May be that I am quite shy And I admit that I’m scared – Being with others compared

Before I’ll give it a go The answer I need to know For ‘though I’ve thought hard and long I daren’t speak in case I’m wrong

So how do I overcome This fear, and gain true freedom Such that I do not despair But with others ideas share
