Air thinning in the presence of others
Never comfortable speaking in front of others, carefully crafting what words to say
eXperimenting with words, trying not to mess up rehearsed lines in conversations
In & Out, breathing erratically, trying to bring my anxiety under control
Everyone gets nervous, but I'm different
Those around me don't notice my constant state of panic, maybe it's because I hide it so well
Yet, I still feel as though there's more to come, but I know I have a group of people who support me.
