Remembering less of smiling then frowning
Tonight depression will have its crowning
As I cowardly submit to bowing

I’m not up to par with your social level of interaction
Never the one to start or continue a Conversation
As my anxiety cripples any form of communication
Solitude and insanity is always the conclusion

As I tremble in fear
My hand shakes a bit
a mortal takes my hand and says
O I use to be shy you’ll get over it

Shy
I long for shy
And Anxiety disorder
I wouldn’t even say goodbye

No panic attacks
No sleepless nights
No mental arguments
And no suicidal fights

I grow old
As I perform my short scenes
In this repetitive play
More often soliloquies
Never the protagonist
Today’s script is “good day”

This debate is put to rest
And do you know why
Because I am

Not Just Shy

Communication-ally crippled you are not. This is a touching, relatable write.

ALL MY BEST,

Sad to be putting it in a box
for a later take out
A ride in the morning fades
A ray in the afternoon dissipates
A prayer in the evening for a cure

an affliction cascading in the mirror
lingers like a nervous wreck
stubbornly refusing to
disappear

Not just Shy
Wouldn't shy be not too sad
Shy can hide away
All she likes
That old thing
That bit one can relate

But who are they
Who am I

I guess there's a thing
Maybe a thing or two
Or a jumble of things
That seem to get at you

Break you down steal
your crown

Me
I meditate

Maybe you should too

I just read this poem you wrote and it
soothed me a piece because I'm
frustrated and I feel low
My best doesn't seem to be good enough
And I don't think I can ever grow
I'm stuck in a rut you see
Like there's no place else to go

There's all these things the weigh on
me
Things I don't understand
But they're my problem
And because I don't know how to run

Away
Far off
Where I once was
Smiling
Like I used to do

I will stick to the plan
meditate put a list of carefully taken notes in a box
For later take out
One by one

Peace!

Very well written. I think we all have those day of anxiety. With me, no matter how much I want to express how I really feel; at a given moment, it just never comes out as I picture it in my head. Thanks to passion of writing, I can now say it in my own words...(I always tell my readers to read between the lines I write)
