Feelings
tango back and forth,
trying to lead in too many directions.

Is right or left the better choice?

Anxiety drips down her back,
nervousness echoes in her brain,
and blurred visions of her past
rise to the surface.

It is all too much,
yet not enough.

Who is she?

Her pale blue eyes
and permanent sad smile
mark her face.

All she wants is to help others,
but she won’t let others help her.

It’s the irony of her life that keeps her going.

If you see her on the street,
give her a smile.

It’ll mean more to her
than you’ll ever know.
