Anxious in my skin when I attempt to talk or be in a crowded room…in a room with more than a hand full of people. I used to be filled with energy to give myself to the cause but now I cant seem to sort and bag apples in a room filled with a cacophony of muffled conversation and that ringing in my ears. Those apples were for hungry children but I walked away, too overwhelmed by existing. How can I be this person in my head? The one who is ready to fight against this madness by showing that empathy is possible. I want to share this wealth of love I feel in my heart but am paralyzed by perception. I’m told I have to help myself before I can help others. I have to love myself to love anyone else. Its been years and that hasn’t helped me to be within this society. It has only helped me to be alone where a feel comfort and love for myself and who I truly am. I wish I lived in a society that embraced empathy and love instead of shunning these parts. Judgement, ridicule and a lack of acceptance and understanding are how we got this violent horrible world. Try being nice to the freaks and see the world that comes from it
