Social anxiety

My anxiety not only keeps my quiet but it keeps me stiff
It keeps from saying all the things I wish I could say as if someone had come and sewn my lips shut
The silence makes the air feel thick like jelly
As everyone else tries to find words to throw in to it
I’m apologetic
My brain races to try to form a sentence
Anything at all
But the words just clash together and crumble to pieces
I realize there is no use so instead I just stare at my feet
