Hot breath, fog on the window. Hands on the glass frame Holding on, Pain, shame! A silent tear slides down rounded cheek Leaked down from a clear blue pool of Innocence and sincerity and strength. Questions flying throughc clouded mind, Emotion held with in a sigh. Smile brightly, laugh out loud. Sleeves pulled down, wristbands wary Waiting for the shock and dismay For the rejection and harsh words. Bring on the hurt... Emotional pain is ten times worse Than anything else. Muscles tense and waiting, Yearning for redemption. Back tight, jaws clamped. Eyes piercing against the bland mask That hides all. Lips ready to quiver or Fake words of comforting empathy. Voice waiting for its cue To laugh and chase away any type of doubt. Hands, clenching and unclenching, Showing more emotion than anything. Finger nails digging into palms Leaving bright red crescent marks. Feet sluggishly sliding from destination to destination. Will it ever stop raining? Will the sun ever shine?
