Returning Things

I dread taking items back to the shops,
And when I have to do this my confidence drops.
It causes me angst and  also much stress.
It then makes me embarrassed and also distressed.

It makes me want to hide and want to retreat,
Though it may be my right and I have the receipt.
I get so nervous that it gets out of hand,
Though why this is the case I do not understand.

However there's something that I often find
Is that the staff that I deal with do not seem to mind.
So now that you see that I have this aversion,
I shall reward myself with some lovely diversion.
