A/N: just because. hope you're having a good day :)
****
Deep breaths.
Gasp --
No. Composed.
Flickering eyes,
Left, right.
No. Still.
One foot forward,
Then the next.
One by one,
Counting.
No stuttering,
No harried steps,
No frantic thoughts.
Serene.
Large smiles,
Bright white.
Blinding.
Good? (Bad.)
Shaking hands --
No. Clench fists.
Ease.
Eyes bright,
Awake.
Anew?
(Perception.)
Critics?
Insults?
Mocking?
No. Shaky breaths.
Be still.
Be ready.
They yell
They scream
They hate --
But no.
Smiles.
Eyes.
Composed.
Happy.
Hands clasped.
Support.
Reach across
Reach beyond
Reach above.
Staying --
Always.
