she sits with a coffee in her hand
her finger traces the rim of the cup
her eyes flit between two points in the room, avoiding eye contact
she listens to the words being said, but she can't concentrate
so she'll nod and smile and she'll pretend she's okay
but her sweaty palms and vacant disposition say otherwise
she's burning inside, she's burning alive
