How I Want To Be

How I Want To Be
1/20/10
My body stands alone, my legs locked,
my arms wrapped around me as a means of comfort,
my eyes, burning, misting,looking wildly around,
my heart pounding
my mouth ready to talk
but unable to form words, sentences, or any sound.
My skin feels flushed,
red coming through my cheeks,
my hands are shaking and so are my legs...
I scope you out with my wild eyes,
up and down, side to side,
I see what i want to see,
you make me feel how i want to be.
