Anti-Social/Anxiety
Poetry that will remind you it can't get any worse.
Secretly sweating from my palms on the thought of starting college. The empty stomached feeling I get in a busy subway line. The most fear of all is the expectations to stand in front of a large crowd and preform to the highest of standards. What is life, when you're constantly being stopped by your own emotions. Failure is a curse upon mankind and somehow failure is walking straight towards me on any given day. Just when I feel its time to give up, it never goes as planned. Hitting the bottom means there is no where else to go except up, and the rainy days begin to brighten.

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.

Thank You Female Product Companies For Normalizing Human
I was born in 1990. In May, smack dab early mid-year. I am quite LITERALLY the definition of a '90's' kid. I don't remember a lot of commercials from when I was younger, but I do know that growing up women in media were photoshopped, sculpted, and molded to be Barbie perfect.
