Why am I uneasy
Being around other people?
I’m perfectly capable
Of being social
But strangers scare
The shit out of me.
I become very judgmental,
Presumptive, withdrawn
Easily intimidated
Frighteningly self-conscious.
I refuse to engage
For my lack of confidence
Paralyzes me, head to toe.
But why?
And to what end?
What good does that serve?
Maybe I just need to
Quit questioning
Quit thinking so much
Accept and acknowledge
The feelings I feel
Give myself a break
No more self-beatings
Learn to accept me
For who I am
Learn to grow
Beyond what is comfortable
Learn to love
Me for who I am.
