Get ready with me!

A thousand emotions.

This is the music I love
drums beating as loud as this heart
so why am I trying to escape
this room full of my so called friends?
I scratch the back of my neck
covered in goosebumps and charcoal hair
with polished long nails that I really want to bite right now
Awkward giggles escape my usually shut mouth
and I'm laughing with them, I'm playing with them
but I'm moving backwards to the exit - the great escape door.
There was a something. Some false alarm inside me.
Water is wet but it never feels satisfying enough
I mean, I guess I am thristy but I need something more,
something else, alien.
I cannot find that! A such thing does not exist! I remind myself.
A sigh flees from my usually running mouth as my back
crashes onto the cold mattress. A long night this will be.

This is an intriguing profile of some party-goer, I’m guessing. Your details are popping with originality & everything is so true-to-life for such a situation. I tend to dislike crowds, so it would be me, backing up toward the door. I’ve always been independent in relationships, so this could be a different kind of party, between two people, & again I have one foot out the door. I love this as a character profile & your words put me inside this slinking shy stand-offish ghost in the night (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
