Avoidance
I stay away from every crowd;
The movement and the noise
Attack my senses fast and loud
More so with girls and boys.
I also don't have much to say
And even if I did,
Anxiety would keep at bay
What fear will soon forbid.
I've learned to like my solitude
With books and poetry
As well as music, I conclude
Bring happiness to me.
