I look around constantly
I slide down in my seat
I hate looking in the mirror
I hide from me
Their words scare me

I roam the hallways with my head down
I speak only when spoken to
I'm not the one people walk over to
Kayla who?
They have no clue

I sit alone at lunch
When I eat I never crunch
I sit in a hunch
It controls me
I cannot finish
I stand and walk away quickly

My skin has gone prickly
As it does every day
My hand accidentally brushes against someone familiar in the hallway
"Geez! Your hands feel like ice! Why are you always freezing?"
I mumble the excuse of a cold lunch
I stumble away

take my body
take my sight
but
all i
have
ever wanted
is the
lasting light

Tranquillity,
It has come over me,
Like a wave washes over a beach.

Tranquillity,
Is beauty,
No destruction.
No havoc.

Tranquillity,
Is rare to see lately,
With all these wars raging around me.

So tranquillity,
Will you ever come back to me?
