I need a poem on how being in a room of silence can cause anxiety and what goes through my head in that situation. Talk about how I cut stop looking around. I watch what other people are doing. and how I can never get comfortable. The activity that we did in class was to write a poem after sitting in silence for 5 mins. I wrote this. You can elaborate on this and add one more stanza and you can use some of my lines
Silence is never quiet
when it is shared
Every adjustment sounding like a mistake
my thoughts screaming in my head
my body unsure where to be
I try the usual routine
head down on desk
eyes closed
fix my posture
my mind refused to sit where I put it
Everyone else seems so calm
while I stay cautious
listening to every though in my head
while I count the seconds for the silence again
