Fear of revealing oneself.

Attention eludes him,
hardly a glance,
hoping for a chance to dance.

His waltz yet to commence,
keeping secrets his best defense.
His ideas in purgatory.
Being afraid, his long time story.


Terror rips through him,
pondering how others will react.
His secrets shine when kept within,
when in the spotlight could only dim.
