Last night at a spoken word event I was asked if I'd like to share. While I don't have stage fright I do have a feeling of discomfort in social group mixer situations. This poem is me unwrapping that Pandora's box.
So last night I did a thing Only to chicken out at the end Crowds usually I’m avoiding In this circumstance I can’t blend Amethyst heart beats so fast Luckily you can’t see that Poets like me who bleed indigo ink Hoping to overcome fears with dreams Onyx fears of social situations Being paranoid of simple salutations In my mind I plan to purple persevere And in reality I gotta get out of here
