"Desire: tranquility (safety, free from anxiety), I hate: negative things/rude personalities of people, I love: helping people out/helping people feel happy & accepted. My thought: I'm very anxious a lot of the time, so I'm mainly over thinking small things lol. When my anxiety occurs, I feel as if my heart is heavy, my stomach tightens & my cramps, I'll occasionally get headaches. I tend to bounce my leg when it happens or chew gum obnoxiously hahaha. I'm not really sure how it occurs... personally, it normally happens if I'm forced to do something out of my comfort zone or from worrying/overthinking."
They force me to talk
Do they know how hard it is
To speak when I am not ready?
"Give me time maybe
Let me prepare"
-
My leg is already bouncing
And my heart is thumping at the same pace
My stomach feels like
Someone is sucking the life from it
It tightens
Along with every other organ in my body
-
"Give me time maybe,"
I repeat
Come on,
It's okay,
I try to remind myself
-
What if I mess up?
What if my words stumble upon each other?
What if my tongue gets knotted and I can't undo it?
-
Breathe
My mind is stuck
Pounding as loud
As a hammer on a nail
Breathe
-
"Uhm,"
Just as I predicted
I stammer
Breathe
-
Breathe in
1.. 2.. 3.. 4..
Hold
1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7..
Breathe out
1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7.. 8..
"Chapter One.."
