The more people that entered the room the more alone he felt. The normally composed man wiped the sweat from his brow & wondered if his anxieties were being broadcast for all to see or if the mask he chose to wear that day was enough to fool the sea of faces surrounding him. - His posture was proud, but his mind was racing. His smile was big, but his heart was heavy. For someone who had spoken so many words, he truly knew so little…however, the little he knew haunted him. - He knew that the only thing that fascinated the crowd more than seeing a hero rise, was seeing one fall. - #writersofinstagram #shortstories #shortstory #writing #mensmentalhealth #writer #mentalhealth #anxiety
