WHAT AM I ?

 

 

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?’
