Rag Tag Prompt: SHY

You speak so softly,
people say to me
you must be shy!
You need to smile more,
it would make you look pretty
but I get it, they would laugh, you are shy.
When was the last time ( I was asked )
you just let loose
it’s too bad you don’t, wow, you must be really shy.
I wish I had the nerve to say
when I am asked to smile and bark and sit up on cue
I’m not shy
I just don’t like you.
Word of the Day Challenge: Beloved

He told me
he settled for me.
He told me
he deserved more, she deserved better
they deserved each other.
I may not have been the beloved
but I am very happy to Bedevil
freely, joyously, every single day
wherever I can and to whoever I can.
It really is a blessing
when the road rises up to meet you
and the sun is shining
the birds are screeching
and the wolves are howling merrily out loud.
