Passing

I am scared to be in this place

all alone with no one watching me

I don' t know what I can do or say to feel anything less than pain

Everything is killing me inside and yet outside I look fine

my hands are shaking

My eyes turned down

My head is bowed

I can not look into your face

can not tell you my past

can not give you my mask

I can do nothing more than keep silent and watch you pass
