Introvert

A mass of youth, writhing in the beat;

Air thick with spirit, hallucinogenic plumes

And recklessness.

You'll find me in the corner,

Nail-biting with dread;

The idea of ordinary interaction

Bubbling up anxiety bile,

Seizing up my throat,

Hijacking my words.

I want to burst into tears and evaporate,

leaving just the salt behind.

I am your

Buzzkill,

Stick-in-the-mud,

The one who

shits the fucking party.

The intense feeling of anxiety manifests into 

Physical pain wrapped around my ribs.

I ache for

A tether to

A calm, an ease,

And to just

Get the fuck out of here.
