I drown my focus to my shoes. Slamming up and down against the pavement, left right,left right,left right. I finally look up, terror overwhelms my body. I start to shake uncontrollably, walking faster and faster. Trying to get there unnoticed, but I contract a heavy limp. Walking alone,terrified. I arrive at my destination. My shaking legs are starting to feel to weak to hold up my sweat covered body. My head starts to spin when I realize how dangerously fast my heart rate is. My breathing increases,kind of like a panting dog trying to cool down. Which is what I need to do, it feels as if my blood is boiling. My mouth as dry as a dessert and my eyes feel like matches in my head. But instead of feeling better I keep feeling worse. I look around quickly then back at my shoes. Just that slight movement made me feel as if I was going to faint. I look up as I'm called upon, my heart racing faster. I stumble over to the counter. Where my fear looks me strait in the eye. She says how may I help you today. Awkwardly studdering, I state my business and do what needs done. I then run away, and rush back to my car. My eyes locked to the ground avoiding eye contact with anyone. I reach my car and sit down to slow my heart rate, then race back home. The only place I feel safe.

Life with social anxiety
I wanna write a poem that takes your breath away. I wanna write a song that brings you to tears. I wanna write a story of our love. I wanna write something to cause that beautiful smile. I wanna find the words to describe just how much you mean to me. I wanna write something you'll cherish. I wanna write something to bring back those first date butterflies. I wanna write a poem for your beauty. I wanna write a song about my happiness. I wanna write a story of my love towards you. I wanna write to you,but I can't. I wanna learn how to write when I'm happy. Because all I wanna do is write to you.

I wanna write to you
A long hesitant breath A brief moment of eye contact A soft grin As hands softly collide Gently caressing one another As grins turn to smiles And eyes of passion Turn to eyes of seduction A slow arch of the back An even slower Stretch of the neck A pucker of lips As the stretch increases For lips to meet beautifully And passionately Hearts sinking Butterfly wing flapping Sparks flying Living in a moment of bliss Caught in the kiss

The kiss
Depression isn't what you think It isn't laying in bed crying Its laying in bed starring, At the ******* walls With the same hurt on your mind But not one tear will fall Because your to numb To let anything out Depression isn't what you think It isn't something your daily routine Can get rid of, Its walking around emotionless, Like your immune to life. It's letting the sadness build up, Not laughing at jokes, And having to drag yourself Just to make it through the day. Depression isn't what you think It isn't wishing for, The sadness to end. Its wishing for your life to end. Its taking a razor blade, Across your wrist, Maybe you're thigh To numb the pain. Depression isn't what you think It isn't talking to your friends, So they can cheer you up. It's having no friends, Because you shut everyone out, So no one else can hurt you. It's better to have no one Then someone that can help. Depression isn't what you think It's an emotional shut down It removes you from life It eats at your mind Destroying you mentally, And physically, Until there is nothing left.

Depression
If I wrote a poem, Just to get your attention. Would it? If I could find the words, To define your beauty And how much I'm attracted... To you. Would you appreciate the gesture? If I wrote about, How you make me happy... Would you be happy about it? If I wrote about never hurting you, Like some people in your past have done. Would that change your view on relationships? If I wrote about the fact, That I honestly do really like you. Would you think about it? If I wrote about, wanting a chance. Would you consider giving me one? If i just let you read this, Would you reflect on it?

The Struggles
We are the poets, A mass army Of tortured souls Writing about our suffering In hope to gain peace of mind When in actuality The world is our torturer And we are nothing but the victims Writing of our experiences, Putting words together, Perfectly, Into a mass Of meaningless lines To entertain The ones who cause Us to pick up the pen What is a poet Without a broken mind And a damaged heart Well, nothing but A horrible writer attempting to Rhyme verses And put together stanzas In hope to get the View from the world A true poet Is not sane They have no belief "Sanity" exists They are outcasts, Not normal to the eyes Of the world But a person More beautiful on the inside than a poet, Does not exist Poets have been Driven past Their breaking point Pushed until The damage done Was far beyond repair We are the poets A mass army Of tortured souls Fighting a war Of cruelty enflicted by The human heart Hoping our words Can bring peace To the people Who can't find peace Within their selves

The Poets
Don't judge me by that I am not a *** head But i will smoke on occasion And i have found out That in fact **** is my best friend After one hit, I'll crack a smile After the weeks I've been frowning From this constant depression After two hits, Even the commercials on TV make me laugh When i haven't been able to find humor in anything After three hits, I become hungry Even though i haven't had an appetite For a very long time After four hits, I feel a sudden lightness Finally relieving me Of all the sadness and stress weighing me down After five hits, I find confidence in myself And do anything It feels good to stop hiding behind others After six hits, I'll start to sing and dance And i don't care who sees me After seven hits, I feel like superman Even though my body's always drained After eight hits, I realize I'm somebody Even though the world makes me feel like I'm nobody After nine hits, I get a little crazy And don't care about "following the rules" After ten hits, I forget about all the pain I have in my heart And after its all gone I fall asleep quickly And stay asleep After being awake for days So yes, **** is my best friend.

**** is my best friend.
I've always been a sucker for love I always fall fast And i always fall deep Maybe its because of my abandonment issues Maybe its because the people i call family Just don't know how to show me love Maybe its because I'm a true romantic But whatever the reason Its not a bad thing Because love is a beautiful thing In my opinion the most beautiful thing Going through the countless times My breath was taken To all the times Butterflies bounced off my stomach walls To the times where It felt as if my heart fell from my chest The first time my lover told me She loves me To the time when You realize you're heart Is their home When you find That there is no place to be But in her arms From that first awkward kiss To finding perfection in her lips From the first Passionate time you made love To the next From the first time You held her hand To never wanting her to leave your arms Love is like oxygen That's the truth Love gives you freedom Love gives you hope Love gives you determination Hell, love gives you life And I Love, Love Do you?

I Love, Love.
Scars on my wrist And scars on my leg. Scars on my heart, Please no more i beg. But i put down the blade And picked up the gun Ending this life I imagine would be fun I'm losing my mind And that is true I'm just a tortured soul And i don't know what to do No one will help All they do is put me down I wonder what they'll say When I'm not around But that's ok I won't tell a soul About my emotions running wild And out of control And when I'm gone I mean dead Don't come to my funeral Cause i don't want one tear shed

suicidal thoughts
I still think about you frequently And by that i mean every second Of everyday. I can't escape this broken heart As if you were my first love, Although I wanted you to be my last. I've tried healing myself, By dating other women And yes, even men to. Its actually became quite excessive, But not one had been able to heal The damage caused by you. I want to move on, I really do But i also still want you. In my dreams You embrace me And i glisten But my dreams are always veiled, And i wake in a state of disarray. The while situation is opaque And i feel oblivious As i clutch onto something That's no longer there. But i visualize you Still in love with me Because i know I still love you.
