Seen and Unseen

Strange how embarrassing it can be
wanting to be a part of something.
The heat of me is overwhelming,
cheeks like smoldering coals.
Do I want to be recognized-
or forgotten?
Anxiety tells me to remain hidden-
but a need to be seen bubbles through.
How can I express the emotions at war?
Heart palpitations seem to do the trick.
I feel out of place and alone-
I am afraid.
But why?
What lies behind this fear?
Who will I become when it swallows me?
I will be left with nothing.
