Crowd

I am joining up for today's Five Minute Friday (something I haven't done in ages, as I have had writer's block).

Today's FMF is: CROWD


Crowds seem very intimidating to me
As I navigate through them
I feel as if people are watching me
With judging eyes
I don't feel confident in crowds
As it makes me feel lost and lonely
Insignificant
I don't have the courage
To speak my mind
To do the things I want to do
I am so focused on what others think of me
Of what I say or do
That crowds make me feel
Small and insecure
Being around so many people I don't know
Makes me feel awkward and insecure
And very self-aware
Of how I look
What I'm doing
What I say
Feeling all this
Keeps me from doing many of the things
That I really want to do and say
Which makes me feel like
I am missing out
On some wonderful memories in life

  2. I find crowds difficult too. It's easy to overthink it and read all kinds of things into people's reactions to us. It helps me to remember that others probably feel the same. Visiting from FMF #5
