Anxiety

Rosy blood rushes to the face

Unable to form words to say

White knuckles are shaking

Voice breaking, octaves aching

Making trembling sounds

Vision fades in and out

Grasping onto comfort tight

Only safe when there’s bright light

Nerves don’t make me this queasy

Something this terrifying is social anxiety
