Session
You stare at me,
I stare back,
My hands shaking
Like emerald leaves falling
You open your mouth,
A question,
Another inquiry I have no response to
Anxiety grips my heart,
Squeezing it tight,
The fear won't let go
Another question,
More prying words directed at me
Sweat beads on my forehead,
Trailing down clammy skin
The panic increases and increases,
Jumbling thoughts in my head
Yet another question
You stare at me,
I stare back
Deep down, I know
You'll never truly understand
