Anything as simple as
Answering a question
Asked by the teacher
In front of the class
Can lead me to
A downpour of Emotion.

A simple waterfall that
Leads to the lake of my anxiety,
Confusion (clearheaded)
Doubt (knowing)
Fear (bravery)
I am certain that everyone sees
The dew on my brow,
The swamps in my eyes.
Panic only makes things
Worse.

Panic is
The gravity of my waterfall,
Driving it to form a river, rushing,
Crashing,
Filled with my raw
Emotions.
Bravery (fear)
Pride (doubt)

The river of my Emotion
Feeds the salty ocean
Who is hungry for
My downpour.
He tugs and pulls
At my edges,
Pushing my every limit.
I drown in a tsunami of
Emotion.
