PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Every time I walk into
a crowded room

I become so self-conscious,
feeling like the world is
watching my every move.

Flesh flushes,
blood pressure rises
my temperature burns up.

But there's another time
when my body
reacts the same way
but in my mind,
I lose myself.

In that moment
everything disappers,
nothing else matters.

For an instant, 
all the worries
and insecurities
fade away.

I escape my skin
if only for a few seconds
and that's my favorite
place to be.
