Sitting in a room, full, causes anxiety
Words, can never escape
It ends up like makeup
Putting on a face to make it easy
But,
When everything is quiet
When thoughts are being heard
When talking becomes more than a front
Only then, when the pen hits the paper…
Does it make sense
Only then, can words pour like a fountain that’s been stopped up
Only then, can you hear who’s heart beats more
Only then, can words pour
Front and center, causes anxiety
Fright or flight are its responses
Blood is drawn from head to toe
Shivers down the spine,
And into the legs they turn into puddles
Yet power is filled in place of the butterflies
And once more, words pour
Only then, can power be sensed in the words spoken
Only then, do the words pour from the paper and into the souls
Only then, can you feel who’s heart beats more
Only then, can words pour

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

I love how you flipped anxiety into power here! The way you describe the release of words flowing when the pen hits the paper really nails that feeling. It’s like the words finally get to speak for you.✨
Amazing poem! Great work!
