It’s said shyness is a virtue
Rightly that’s true I cannot argue
In all sense it protects me
But it seems to make others angry
They call me names
Always targeting to defame
I get confused is it because am shy
Am picked out, teased and tormented that I cry?
I ask my sisters and brothers in Islam
Is shyness some kind of qualm?
I ask again, should I try to change?
Am bewildered, has shyness got me estranged?
They told me not to worry
That it’s there all over the countries
That I am not the only one
That it’s a personality hated by the demon
It’s a virtue most loved by Allah
Even mentioned in some ayah’s
Truly it’s not a disease
Do not hurt, we hope to appease
So let them say all they want
And let them do all they flaunt
Just know it will never do them any good
In reality, you are more than knighthood
