Nervous

Nervousness.
The way your heart races,
when something happens.
The way your stomach feels like it's upside down,
when you get anxious about something.
The way your hands start to shake,
every time you start to overthink
about your decision.
That's what's happening to me.
From the most simplest thing ever!
I asked something to a boy I like.
He plays guitar, and I wanna learn!
I asked him if he could help me learn.
Maybe.
He said maybe.
He seemed nice about it,
but I'm super anxious.
After I asked,
he whispered to his friends about something.
One said "I'm so sorry" and hugged him.
I'm nervous it was about me,
I'm anxious he thinks I'm weird.
This feeling won't go away.
I hate my racing heart.
I hate my flipped stomach.
I hate my shaking hands.
I hate being nervous.

Unless you know this boy very well, and know his life is perfect, what was said was probably not about you. Maybe, just maybe he will show you how to play the guitar and you will become a great musician. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K..PS you can look at videos online to learn to play if you really want to learn.

I mean, I know him a little bit. But like the "im sorry" was like a kind of exaggerated one with a pity smile, and the one who said it asked if he wanted a hug and he said yes. I'm still super nervous about it. I really don't want him to think I'm weird.. :')
