Shy

The girls who tremble,

Stumbling by hand in hand with

The boys who mumble

A whole different society,

Shy deities floating down school halls

That nobody can see but themselves and each other

Never noticed by the mortals

Their eyes are portals to new dimensions

Look inside and you'll see

Empty rooms, dark closets, red scars, yellow stars

But their lips can go weeks without speaking,

They are meek but strong

Their songs escape through words etched onto screens or

Fingers pressing them through keys,

Serenading audiences of demigods and all sorts of things

But most of them go invisible, even then

They are never seen.
