A Collection of Anxious Thoughts

They're looking at me

They're staring

They're looking 

They're judging 

They're lying to me

They're manipulating me

They're lying

They're leaving

What is wrong with me?

What the hell am I so afraid of?

Everything 

Everything is wrong with me because I am afraid of everything.

He panics

He's shaking

He is afraid of me

What the hell is he so afraid of?

the poem is good and expresses a movie-like anxious being quite well. Your ending had me thinking why don't you write a stanza or two looking at an anxious being in a crowded place like you tried express here. What I mean by that is change the perspective of your reader. Just a suggestion that I think would add depth to the poem.

But it is well written this way aswell
thanks for sharing

That's an interesting suggestion, I hope you don't mind if I ask you to elaborate a bit?

You have written three stanzas showing how he thinks how about by fourth you show how he looks to everyone for example he is sweating and fidgety. you can write simply a new poem starting from the left side of this page. The reader will read first how he thinks then "me" becomes "he" for the second part in which the people surrounding him see him nervous and odd.

Did it make sense.

The title becomes An Anxious Being and you have a three dimensional charachter relating to many. read moreThe title becomes An Anxious Being and you have a three dimensional charachter relating to many.

But this is a mere thought that clicked as soon as i read you poem, "What if there was a way to look at this person."

The poe is good it is just a thought.

I like this poem :) I actually suffer from panic and anxiety attacks, so I can relate to this character a lot. I'm always afraid people are judging me for freaking out or talking about me (but it turns out they're usually not and are actually genuinely worried about me). I think you captured this feeling/situation really well.

It's not fun, I think we can agree on that. I'm glad I could connect with you : )
