My social anxiety

Sup

When meeting people for the first time...

Negative thinking and procrastination takes over 

When meeting people for the first time...

Ego and narcissism helps me to maintain composure 

When meeting people for the first time...

Butterflies are initially defeated by adrenaline 

When meeting people for the first time...

Adrenaline wears off, I feel anxiety reawakening 

When meeting people for the first time...

Getting asked a question makes me feel like a rabbit in the headlights 

When meeting people for the first time...

Butterflies put up a much harder fight 

After meeting people for the first time...

My confidence seems to have dissipated 

After meeting people for the first time...

I only feel isolated.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is just a first attempt at me expressing some of my inner emotions that I haven’t expressed before. I did it in the form of a poem because I enjoy reading short stories and poems, I have only just joined this site and have thoroughly enjoyed reading some of the poems published recently. I would really look forward to reading any feedback positive or negative and look forward to spending more time on this site.

      Great first poem! Strong vocabulary, and pretty consistent. I found the topic interesting and relatable, considering I also have strong social anxiety. Glad to have you here at MPS, I hope you enjoy it here. ^^

        Thanks for the kind comments, social anxiety is awful but art in any form helps combat it.

        And now you've met us lot! heehee.How are we?
        I know what you mean. But doesn't it get better the second time you meet people?

          I have and I’m good thank you, hope your good too. I agree with you but certain jobs I’ve had in the past and when I was at school I felt less confident each time I went back so I was referring to that mostly.

          Brilliantly done with a powerful eneding
          I could feel the raw emotions in this
          I've honestly grown so much being here
          More than I ever knew.

          Thank you for expressing your self
          And coming here to share
          I hope many follow after you
