Excellent social anxiety Reluctant Butterfly by gansach Sad Poems writing prompt entry Artwork by Erika Whittle at FanArtReview.com

Each morning I emerge from         the cocoon of my house,   ugly caterpillar donning butterfly         finery to face another day;   to flit from place to place         collecting the nectars of my life;   to work, to store, to bank, to school,          performing the ritual dance;   longing only for the time when I can          flutter back to my cocoon   and, crawling inside, become           myself again~and safe. Writing Prompt Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression. Author Notes Life can be very sad and lonely for those dealing with social anxiety or agoraphobia (anxiety disorder causing people to fear leaving environments where they feel safe).
