Gym anxiety
June 6, 2023
Peak Hour
Crowd meter booming to the max
My brain is telling me to just relax
I picked the wrong time
I tell myself it's fine, but it's really not fine
I hear the loud bangs of the barbells crashing into the ground
I tell myself to not look around
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
A sudden burst of relief overtakes my body
I get the courage to walk past the lobby
It takes me a minute to realize
Nobody
Nobody is looking
