Being,
In my world,
I am more,
Than just,
Shy,
I have,
A dread,
That doesn’t,
Go away,
And it,
Affects,
My every day,
Activities,
My self-confidence,
Relationships,
And work,
I feel,
Like I’m,
Wrapped,
In a teal cocoon,
I worry,
About social,
Situations,
Before,
During,
And after,
They happen,
I dread,
Meeting strangers,
Starting conversations,
Speaking on the phone,
Working,
Shopping,
I tend,
To avoid,
And even worry,
About having,
Group chats,
Or eating with others,
Or parties,
I will worry,
About blushing,
In front of others,
I feel,
Like I’m being judged,
Or watched,
If I’m doing anything,
And within,
This teal cocoon,
I find things difficult,
I fear criticism,
I have had,
Panic attacks,
Before,
When the cocoon,
Tightened,
Around me,
Enclosing,
Me within,
It’s grasp,
There,
Is a way out,
I felt,
Close before,
To getting out,
Escaping,
But I,
Relapsed,
Back,
To the start again,
Now,
I’m going to try,
Therapy,
And the,
Guided self-help,
Maybe,
Even,
Join,
One of the support,
Groups,
So,
I can chat,
Online,
Without,
Having the,
Nausea,
That comes before,
A panic attack,
When,
I exit,
This cocoon,
And this,
Phobia,
Is put to,
An end,
I may yet,
Turn,
Into a,
Beautiful,
Butterfly
