or when you're forced to go out in public.

Anxiety.

Anxiety is a vengeful enemy whose name can only be capitalized.

Anxiety tags along when i so much as breathe, but especially when i leave the house.

wherever i go, Anxiety follows listlessly, even though they may not have been invited. they ride my coattail anywhere.

going to a belt ceremony was not where i wanted to go, but Anxiety preyed upon me the moment i arrived at the karate warehouse.

awkward interactions, being spoken to by friends of my parents, finding a way to fidget the stress away. all of it was initiated by Anxiety.

my head ached as they pulled at my strings, conducted me as only Anxiety could.

me, a puppet to something so much stronger and human than an emotion.

them, too strong to stay under cover.

fuck Anxiety.
