I never liked attention
I purposely try to blend in
And fade into the background
That's where I'm most comfortable
One compliment sent my way
Reveals my bashful nature
I'm not so used to taking in positivity
So don't be surprised when I don't know how to respond
I most likely will smile uncontrollably
Until my cheeks hurt and they feel like they may burst , shower me with attention
And watch me tuck myself back into my shell
I've always felt I had the talent for the spotlight
Just never had the desire to actually be in it
I'm content in the shadows but I know I have to emerge sooner or later
What better time than now ?
I'm not getting any younger
There's no guarantee opportunity will knock twice
If I'm going to make a move
I make it now
Or forever lurk in the shadows
Wondering if I should have taken that chance
