SOCIALLY AWKWARD (POEM)
Private Notes

Notes
Large groups of people
You're going to have to talk to
Fear grips and panic hits you
Fast beating heart, you want to run away
You really can't do this today
It scares you so that's why - You are socially awkward
Small talk is needed
What should you say?
"Hello, how are you today?"
Maybe you will say the wrong thing
Find that it's just a little embarrassing
It scares you so that's why - You are socially awkward
Silence is deafening
Nothing being said, no words, no noise
An awkward hush no one enjoys
Do you speak just to fill the void
The thought doesn't leave you overjoyed
It scares you so that's why - You are socially awkward
Your not going out
Your mind or your body can't face it
Feeling physically sick, your thoughts won't permit
You to stop feeling anxious, to relax
It's ridiculous but those are the facts
It scares you so that's why - You are socially awkward

In a social situation get the other person to tell you about what they do, about their life and let them do the talking which they will love to do -- and basically, you become a good listener.

This is incredibly deep and reaches a lot of readers. That's why some of us write. I love the premise behind it. Great work!
