Transcript

Maybe I'm not shy, Or introverted, Or defective, Or broken, Or any of the other put-downs my mind likes to offer up. Maybe, Just maybe, I'm exactly who I need to be to survive. Cautious, Careful, Considerate. Maybe I learnt to look before I leap, To consider all possibilities, To be sure, Before allowing myself to relax. Maybe that negative voice only speaks of the version of me that has his guard up. Maybe, Just maybe, If you get to know me, If you wait long enough, If you earn my trust, Maybe then I'll let you in. Maybe then you will see who I really am.
