Choke
I can talk in front of a group
Public speaking was never my phobia
If the words are written, I can read them
And if an answer is needed, I'll supply
But if you take away the crowd
And its one on one, face to face
I can't handle that
And words won't come to me
If I saw you sitting alone
And I wanted to get to know you
You'd have to talk to me first
And you'd have to be very patient
Of course most of my friends
Don't remember a time like that
But trust me, that's how it was
Until I was comfortable with them
Then, in the pressence of my friends
The real ones, who cared about me enough
Right from the beginning, to be patient
I can talk and I would be just fine with that
But when they're not around
And its me against who knows who
Everythig's different
And I look like a fool
I can feel my face burn
And I can't make actual words come out of my mouth
I look anywhere but at the person who's adressing me
And my heart beats faster and faster
This is what it feels like to choke
