The shy one

This one is shy,
I don’t know why,
I heard she swallowed a fly,
But I don’t know why,
This one is shy,
But I don’t know why,
I heard she killed her mother,
This is the shy one,
I don’t know why,
Heard she tried to die,
But I don’t know why,
This is the shy one,
I don’t know why,
I heard she is shy,
Because people talk,
About the shy one,
But I don’t know why,
This one is shy,
I need to stop wondering why?
