At my desk, I sat alone

The small, cramped room was filled with students

I notice my leg beginning to shake like I had no control

Looking down I pick at my fingers

Twiddling my thumbs to distract me from the chaos

Sweat beads at my forehead

My breathing begins to increase

My heart, sprinting to catch up with each breath

 I peek up and observe the room, hoping no one's watching

Paranoia seeping into my mind

Is someone watching me?

Can they see right through me?

My body was as stiff as a board

I can't even attempt to move a muscle

I feel so helpless

There's truly nothing I can do
