This is how it starts Palms sweating Stomach tightens Face gets hot Cheeks turn red Heart beating fast Mind racing Can barely breathe Embarrassed by the fact it was all caused By a natural human interaction Anxiety controls my life It smothers me It takes my mind Obsessing over all the words Trying to escape my thoughts Don't talk to me Don't look at me I'm not rude I'm just a shell of an anxiety ridden person
