WHAT AM I?
I can stand on a stage
and speak to an audience.
I’ve lectured I’ve taught
and appeared on TV.
Yet when at a party
I sit without mingling
and scarcely engaging
with folk I don’t know.
I really hate small talk
when chatting with strangers
struggling to think
of something to say.
Maybe I’m an introvert
or just a bit shy
I ask the question:
‘What am I?’
