Kathy McCarthy: Just Shy

Kathy McCarthy

Call it a firewall of life
From people who sent mixed signals
So sensitive one becomes.

Slight errors
Feels like major catastrophes
Retreating into safe corners.

Looking in
Afraid to touch
Afraid to open up

Paranoia maybe, sometimes
Wanting to love
Yet having no one

Just Shy
Is being different
Which is not tolerated.
