Say
I couldn't talk,
I couldn't talk because my fears held me.
They held me tightly
all movements small
there was tension strangled my breath
I stood up straight but not tall
The comments on the faces as I started,
"Hi, today is a spacial day. Just like all others".
Once that was there the words
Became tangled,
They collapsed on to one another
Like being at the coffee shop with strangers
Listening to their conversation but not for long enough
I gasped, having realised that I lied
Today was a special day but not like all others,
I had walked back to my sit
as if I was directionless
As the criticism made it's way to my caution
