Lost in thought

Chewing cheek chatter
While legs shift desperately
       Up
          and
    Down.

Listening, feeling…
While hands in pockets
Fisted firm...
Nails in flesh
Reaffirm.

Wide eyes wonder
       Back
   And
          Forth.
Brows furl in confusion,
T e r r o r.

Readjusting from the chair
Stuck on sweaty
Cloth of limbs.

Speak, speak
still unknowing.
Seems it’s strong
To the weak.
And my feeble fears are
S h o w i n g.


- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

littlewing,
hadn't even thought of that lol but I guess it does seem a lot like a dentist visit! Thanks for replying, love seeing what other people view from it.
Always, Alyssa

I'm feeling all twitchy and nervous now! lol

My first thought was of sitting in a dentist's chair--my second one was of me sitting in class waiting for the exam paper to be placed on my desk!

Well done!

Peace & Love,
EA

EA,
thanks ..lol you're right it could also very well be sitting in class waiting for a paper. When I wrote it I was thinking of sitting while someone verbally pounded on you for something.. but tried to put it in words that could relate to more than one thing. Again, thank you

Always, Alyssa
