Daily writing prompt
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.
When one enters a room and senses the energy shifting to accommodate their presence,
Even if ’tis only your perception providing a challenge that you need to overcome,
It can still take an enormous element of courage to adjourn through the next step into said situation,
Especially if it feels like the air is solidifying around you irrespective of others creating a subtle conversational hum,
The confidence one embrued before opening the door’s now vanished from ones being leaving them anxiously strung.
Yet taking another step as even the light feels fractured and completely unsure where to land,
Can take almost near all your physical body has energetically reserved to undertake,
Despite your legitimacy for being where you happen to be in the moment whence you stand,
Internally one reels like their entire existence depends on all that’s perceived held at stake,
Mentally leaving one uneasy as you attempt to grapple with guarded thoughts one can’t leave unmanned.
Thus though the ground underfoot holds one steadfast the moment one’s in does not,
One’s mind’s struggling to hold reality in place as thoughts predict outcomes uneasily thwart,
Leaving one to seek secure components that anchor them energetically into the moment they’re sought,
To mimc a grounding element for one to grasp as they venture uneasily onwards a touch less fraught,
Despite external appearances often granting an illusion of them being perfectly confident ’tis usually a mask well wrought.
Hence when one takes their place in social arena’s they can perceive a conversational shift,
Akin others edging their chairs inch by inch further away even if ’tis polar to realities case;
Even in frequented environments amongst those with whom one is close one may still feel a non-existent rift,
As one’s mind wavers through undesired thoughts which start swirling as they search for a solid reality base,
Leaving one flailing at least a moment whilst for the right perspective you’re mind is forcing you to sift.
Yet once one’s energetic balance’s restored spaces often adjust even if you’re actually akin the elephant in the room,
Though future occurrences are likely to require some evolution at least mentally on your part,
Like a well set abundant table setting quietly having one undertaking it’s imminent clearing,
Piece vie piece one can tweak their perspective mindfully to what they believe to be best for themselves ‘fore the next moment shall start.
