The Day I Realized Inferiority
My heart moves like a battalion riding into battle
I can feel every one of my muscles yelling at me
Like the other side of a frozen lake, coy fish straining in the water
My pulse is beating behind my ears, everything screaming run
But I guess my senses are too overwhelmed
I find myself unable to move, frozen not in fear, but on impact
My brain fires off electric signals searching for an answer
My adrenal glands are pouring into my system
I'm thinking of a way out
And yet I am not trapped except by my own mind
I tell him that i have to be home soon that way I have an excuse
My eyes are stuck toward the sky because I cannot look down
I walk away as calmly as possible until I am out of sight
And my feet make their way against pavement
Thundering a cry of embarrassment and fear all at once
I am moving because I was scared, I am moving because I am free
One more day I am free
