Face The Heat
May 31, 2011
My head pounds to the rhythem of my fluttering hearbeat
As heat rushes to my cheekbones
And muscles clench together in my shoulders
I breathe in- 5,6,7 seconds
And realease- slowly, shakily
The blurred edges around my vision ebb
My legs solidify
Warmth drains from my face
I turn, and plaster on my automatic smile
I will never admit defeat
