Social Anxiety

"Excuse me," said the stranger behind,
and immediately I lost my mind.
Anxiety and worry inhabited my body and me,
I stressed why she would stop me?
Why me? What did I do?
More importantly did I do something wrong?
My heart beating like a gong.
Suffocated by my own overthinking,
slowly sinking,
as I turn around and say "yes?"
"I just wanted to say I like your dress."
says the stranger as she walks away.
Once again anxiety wins the day.
