"Brushed It Off" Poem

8/28/24 Based On A True Story

In my room, locked away peaceful on my own

In my mind, I'm fighting as if I have a clone.

All of a sudden, I stated some words that kinda changed my world

I feel like it turned the storm off, the one that whirled.

"I'm tired of being so afraid and being full of anxiety"

I then stood up, starting to smile.

"Now what's happening to me?"

I've always had some kind of confidence, especially in my looks.

But this right here.. Oh my gosh I should write a whole book.

Everything feels positive and I'm not afraid to smile.

Let me talk about it, hey let's chat for a little while!

Maybe I'm just manic

Maybe I'm possessed

I'd better use this while I have it.

I feel so blessed

I've been chatting on here a lot, That has to be why I'm like this!

People say go out and meet people but online, you can also erase shyness.

I was scared to chat even online until I gave it a try.

Now hear me out, for a second...

So now I'm thinking about parties and meeting new people in places where you... TALK?

For those shy ones out there, this is my testimony of how I brushed my shyness... Off

After all that, I can't say I'm exactly ready for the world. There might still be some work to be done. Cool thing is.. I feel like I'm half way there. I wasn't posting even on social media because "what if my followers don't like what I post?" then tell them to leave. They follow YOU. They watch what YOU do. It's YOUR profile, no one can tell you what (Unless it's against guidelines of course) and when to post.

I know it sounds hard but stop worrying so much. focus on you. You got this
