Ambush
Timid
never
by means of things I've missed
but crucified
through this damnable discernment
"Social anxiety"
SOCIAL
ANXIETY
blows (biting) kisses
when I leave
They land (demanding)
iced
onto my shaking hands
in the morning
Melting only in the warmth of sleep

beautifully sad - this one felt different - and I do get it, some days feel like it's all too much to handle, yet we seem to muddle through - keep muddling and reflect on your talent as a master wordsmith :-)))))))

This poem reminded me of the quote “come out of your shell: that noxious phrase that suggests some creatures carry shelter wherever they go, and some humans are just the same”.
It’s sad, but descriptively so. The brackets in this piece add a nice alterior dimension to the poem, because they are almost after thoughts that we wouldn’t otherwise think about.
Beautiful piece. I look forward to reading more of your work. Thank you for sharing.

God, thank you!!! Yes! I DETEST that phrase with a flaming ardor. Some of just process more things internally and don't feel like contributing as often, it's not natural to us. The more pressure to "open up" the less inclined we are to.
I appreciate the feedback, thank you for the lovely comment 😊
