Experience social anxiety
Hanging my head down,
Staring at the floor,
Unable to make eye contact
Without tearing up or sweating.
You sit with a group of friends at lunch,
The teacher said you could go and get your food,
But you have to wait
Not make the first move
Because you don’t want to be the first one to get food.
Sitting in the classroom
Unable to raise your hand
You know the answer
But the fear of messing up,
Keeps it hanging down here.
You can't speak to your friends
Unless spoken to,
…...sometimes….
You sit there quietly
Picking at your nails
Listening to them talk and laugh
That's all you want to do,
But no…
Your mind wouldn’t dare
Reading a book with the class,
Listening to her read
“Oh god i hope she doesn’t call on me”
A girl is next,
You’re shaking,
Eyes glued to the paper
You know exactly where you are,
She calls on your name,
“Oh god…”
You lost your spot
Now you’re sweating
Thinking….
“Now they all know I failed”
