The room full of noise and chatter,
The meaningless conversations full the ambience.
The beating of my heart becomes heavy, so full, taking over. The. Sounds. Crippling my vision.

As the rhythm speeds, my face remaining emotionless, never letting anyone see what lies inside - The screaming and thudding in the core of my passive body.

My fingers curl and I begin to shiver. The room still filled with ugly souls and beautiful smiles.

I just manage to pull myself up, keeping my head at balance just until I exit.
Leaving the building. Falling to the floor. The knock of my head.
I see beauty for the first time.

Exquisitely forlorn.
