Occasional "Hellos" from familiar faces
I throw them a quick and sincere smile
'Don't look them in the eye'
They know, its too late, they know
Even the dullest of people can see through me, its amazing how something so danse can tug at you in the most uncommon ways.
Stay Focused
Stay Quiet
Stay Happy...Happy?
Repeated the word a couple of times
How foreign that 5 letter word sounds
Now and then, faces mouth 'are you okay?'
Worry glances constantly meeting my eyes
Emotion...
Too much could trigger more worry
Too little will make me almost ghostly
I feel my face..Water?
I let the salty taste meet my mouth
Almost satisfying, My face heats up
A faint whimper escapes my lips
Suddenly worried glances convert to back burning sensations, can they see the salt water on my face?, do they think i'm weak? 'Its okay' on me unfamiliar face reassures me
I wish I could believe that.....
