People Scared

i’m scared
seems like it would be easier to die
then to stand and be told to sit down
when it takes great demand to reach out and make a call.
it may be the wrong number. it may be right,
either way – what do I say, I ask my brain
while it scratches the skull
looking for topics to discuss with friends
is it really this bad?
i step back and sigh at my stress
it is just people
i remind myself
if this wasn’t so hard
my life would be a breeze
