Anxiety

Hands are shaking as I start to panic everyone is looking at me
My chest feels so heavy I just want to flee
I’m trapped in my emotions flowing like a river
My bottom lip starts to quiver
The teacher asks me if I’m okay as I burst into tears and scream I can’t  move
He asks if I want to go to the restroom
I flee as fast as I can to get away from all the stares
The pain in my chest I can’t bare
Starting to cry this is my anxiety at the worst time possible
My face turns red in public as I feel like everyone is staring
Glaring
I look down at the ground not daring
I’m afraid of people and it takes so much courage to ask OTHER HUMAN  for things
