Waiting & Expecting

• Description: Another poem. Getting slightly more personal now.
  Won't say too much though :)
  Just that it's about fear.

I stand in front of a sea of eyes
Waiting and expecting
My mouth runs dry
And words falter on my tongue

There is silence
Waiting and expecting
A deadly silence
Begging to be broken

A cold chill down my spine
Knees failing
Stomach twisting
Knuckles turning white

The first sound-
A croak
The words break in the air
Coming out in swift shudders

Still the eyes watch
Some polite and alert
Some drooped and bored
But still waiting and expecting
