Across the roomI stare at you,our eyes meet;you seem to notice me.I notice you, the way your eyes stare right into meas though you are looking into my soul.I feel so transparent.I feel useless.My legs want to moveme but my brain doesn'tseem to be functioning correctly.My heart pounds as thoughit's going to leap out onto the floor and sit therestaring smugly up at mebecause it shows the world howI truly feel.Suddenly you begin to walk my way,and my heart feels like it's ready to make the leap, but I try to containit and interior struggle, I force it to stay inside, and I win, I have conqured it tucked all my feeling into a littleball and shoved it to the back of my mind.Now when you walk up to me I don't worry about my heart anymore.My legs suddenly work, and I walk right past without even a smile.
