Words of a Poet

Socially Awkward

Struggles,

They don't understand them.

Awkwardness,

I can't seem to help it.

My mind is screaming

But my mouth keeps shut

All eyes staring at me, 

I'm unable to move, speak or look

Paralysed.

Sweat beads my forehead and drips down to my eyes

Maybe some water would help

But when water trickles down my parched mouth

It turns to ocean water, burning my throat

and I end up coughing, the non potable drink.

Suffocating

My cheeks feel warm and gears are turning in my head

but they can't see how badly I am failing 

to keep the conversation going

with my self-conscienciousness judging me

Afraid

When I open my mouth again, 

The people don't seem to care

So I stop talking again

Embarrassed 

Some bad puns follow my opinions

Weird looks and uninterested eyes are all I see

Why don't they understand

that it is so hard for me to speak?

Misunderstood

My hands grip the object in front me

to support my wobbly knees 

I hear you talking about me later

But don't you know that I know

that hesitating compliments like Unique and interesting

or those that end with question marks really mean?

Socially Inadequate.

I am facing the struggles of awkwardness.

I am paralysed and suffocating

Afraid, Embarrassed and Misunderstood

I feel socially awkward.

A/N: Hi! To all people who feel that they can't talk without being judged, you're going to be fine. It's hard to talk to people whom you don't know. Also, if you want to talk to me, I gladly will without any judgement. 

Like my teacher said, "You're Fine!"
