I'm scared

Just keep your head down
Don't look into their
Eyes

Just keep walking
Just get through the day
One step at a time
I can do this

I-I can’t do this
I’m scared
I’m scared of all
The people surrounding me
I’m scared of
The sound of footsteps coming
Toward me

I just want to hide in a corner
The corner where
The darkness can hide me
From the world
That I don’t belong in

Someone is coming
Hide your face
Don’t let them see the terror
Upon it

Their talking to me
W-What do I say
More people are coming
I need to run
Run away from the
Monster coming at me

Go
Go
Go
Go away from
Here and away from the beast

I’m scared
I’m scared of
The crowd of people
In the hallway
I'm scared to talk to a cashier
I'm scared of looking people
In the eyes

The reason why
Is because
I have social anxiety
And there is no way
To help it
Beside going to
A lady
With a messy bun
And glasses
To talk about my problems
No thank you

I have to just
Go through it day by day
My clock
Is ticking away
And what to say
I have to get out there
Before my time runs
Out
But for now
I can run

I was inspired by, my social anxity to write this. I made this into a vent but it developed into a cool poem. I want people to understand what it is like to have social anxity. Even though it is diffrent for everyone, they have somethings that are similer.
