Heaping mountains
Of building doubt
Block your front door
You can’t get out.
–
Your heart races
Your pulse is high
Anxiety
Makes your brain fry.
–
It’s in your head
Many friends say
They just don’t know
It’s not child’s play.
–
All emotions
At once you feel
This isn’t fake
It’s harshly real.
–
Believing mind
Over matter
It’s not a choice
Some are shattered.
–
Much braver than
A lion’s pride
Building up strength
Going outside.
–
So keep in mind
Some don’t come near
Not for spite but
Deep seated fear…

Anthony’s Crazy Love and Life Lessons in Empathy 
What an amazing poem! This really resonates with me because I have moderate social anxiety and I am currently working on it. What you wrote completely expresses what I have gone through whenever there is a need to go out or even be with friends. Many of my past friends never truly understood that I wasn’t canceling plans on purpose. Great job!

I think we all suffer from it on one level or another. Every time I have plans to do anything or go anywhere there’s a voice in me that says don’t do anything just stay home and lay down and I always push that voice to the side and go anyway.
