What’s the first impression you want to give people?

Take me as you find me
That’s just who I am.
It’ll take you time to know me.
I’m naturally quite quiet.
As for first impressions
It’s hard enough for me
To summon from my bashful brain
Something I can say.
I hope that you will like me
That you won’t find me rude
But sadly conversation
Is something I find hard.
I have a sense of humour
I’d like to make you laugh
But I’ll never be the ‘life and soul‘
My humour is quite dry.
I’m thinking ‘get me through this
And out the other side‘.
Unless I know you very well
I won’t have much to say.
So clearly first impressions
Are not much on my mind.
I’m thinking, ‘Do the business
And just get on your way.’
