Anxiety

By qrt_inch

I feel so alone even in a crowd
I have no one to turn to
Empty inside, like I'm in a cloud
People here and there, if they only knew

The fear inside holds me back
Temple pulsing, heart racing,
Be careful, don't step off track
Insanity cautiously embracing

Anxiety makes me feel so scared
I don't know where to go
Where can I hide and be spared?
Can they see it on my face, do they know?

I would rather die than live like this
My world isn't normal like all the rest
Take the knife from the hand you kiss
Before it's plunged right into my chest

    I have no choice but to deal with it the best that I can with my little ones around always. I am a runner. I find somewhere to hide and cry it out.

    Social anxiety can really hinder a person. Just try to find things you love, and find a select group of people who make you feel at ease. In time, anxiety will fade. I know how you feel. Great write.

    I know every word(exept for the dying). Social anxiety is one topic I wish I was not an expert on. But I am functioning better now then I have ever. Your words are sharp and to the point.

    I think you manage to paint a perfect picture about your situation and how you feel in the moment standing there. Eerie to me, and on this topic I can not imagine being another reader with another set of eyes.
