Tounge-tied, palms sweat, brain dead,
this is how she feels when she faces conflict.
Lips sewn shut, emotions trapped inside.
Perhaps she's intimidated or is anxious inside.
She wished she wasn't scared....
scared to make the other person angry,
or scared the world would stop turning.
She tries so hard to be perfect,
to make everyone happy,
but she is so quickly learning
what a burden being perfect is.

Well-done description of someone frightened by conflict. The reader wonders-what does she do perfectly? Would therapy be helpful? How does she go on?
