I know from
Experience crowded rooms
Are not for
Me as I
Enter it's hot
But I'm frozen
To the spot
The people turn
And stare then
My body starts
Shaking I do
Not know why
I am afraid
They see me
And judge me
On what they
Do not know
And I want
It to s-st-stop
But there voices
Just get louder
And I just
Want to disappear
But it surrounds
Me I try
To scream h-he-help
But my voice
Is mute as
I open my
Mouth the room
Is spinning it
Feels like the
Ground is breaking
And I want
To r-ru-run away
Why can't I
Run?Please.Don't.
Let.Me.Fall.
There eyes are
Burning but I
Am left in
The middle of
A war zone
Why am I
The target?I
Don't know how
To move,Did
I do something?
They look at
Me like there
Trying to find
My weakness,what
Is my weakness?
Just stop staring!!!
My face is wet,
Is it raining?
But I know
It's just tears
The voices turn
Into laughter as
I fall to
My knees thinking
How much longer
And the teacher
Screams"enough!" And
I think my
Hearts stopped as
I heard her
Plea I knew
It wouldn't be
Answered.It felt
Like my world
Was darkening as
I stand in
Front of everyone
Feeling as though
My brain was
Bursting as I
Slowly walk out
It feels like
I've been shot
Feeling wounded and
I don't know
Where to turn
Can I go
Now? I just
Want to run
And hide I'm
So afraid
