Confrontation embrace them,
Alter changes facing.

Angst
Nerve-racking 
Intensifying stressful tensions
Anguished, worrisome, troubling, sorrowful
Fretfulness

Alright, I think I got the hang of it,
Beginning the poem with the alphabet ‘A’...
Caught on pretty quickly, didn’t I?
Dah! This is awesomely easy, man!
Ending is somewhat nerve-racking though.

Can’t resist the love I have
That comes from loving you
Promise me that - you’re true
Never to sell 
To the highest bidder

Beautiful
Pointless 
Painful
It’s so nerve racking

Promise me 
Comfort me
Soothe me 

Come and
Rape my 
heart 
Come and
Rape my 
heart again
It’s the only way!!...

There was a woodpecker whacking,
Continuous sound nerve-racking.
Distressed in the mind,
Making my teeth grind,
Tap-tapping will send me packing.

Standing outside, I clapped my hands,
Sending him off to no-man's land.
But no, he just sat,
And started to tap.
His tapping, how will I withstand?

Hmm this thing is very confusing 
But at the same time it is amusing

This thing here I can't comprehend
Will this nerve racking thing ever end?!!

Oh! Now I understand it all
It is nothing but a cold, brick wall

I don't understand why I thought it was hard
It's just as dumb as a bucket of lard!

Hey what's this thing in front of me?
Is it a bird, a plane, a bee?...

Some people on stage
Speak without the fear
Standing on the stage
Speaking out calmly
To an audience
Some recite poetry
They have no fright

Performing first time
Is nerve racking
Making them feel scared
It takes time to feel calm
In front of an audience
To perform a show
Or to give a speech

It makes me wonder
How the people feel
If calm or nervous
While they perform 
Playing piano
Doing broadway
I have ponder thoughts...

Watching the clock flip,
Finally, replacing the 3. 
One year, now tackled,
But a beginning has arrived.
And so does school soon.

How do I interact?
What do I say?
How do I even greet people?
Especially my friends.

Surely it's not that bad.

Still such a nerve-racking thought,
My brain is clustered.
Maybe I should just home-school?
No, that wouldn't help.

But how?
How to, how do I?

What?
What do I do, what if?

Why?
Why do I think this?...
