I understand

That work involves coworkers

I understand

That the ability to speak my mind may help me

I understand

That you think this is good for me

 

But I also understand

The way my voice goes quiet

The way my classmates look at me

The way my heart races with social anxiety

 

Forcing this upon me helps nothing
