I’m already in too deep

I hadn’t really understood what I had signed up for; everyone seemed to be doing it, and I didn’t want to draw attention by refusing an invitation to their event. I suppose I had thought I could breeze by just enough to not be noticed, and then slip away as quietly as I had come. I just wanted to seem normal (not like I had a burning, writhing ball in my chest at the very mention of a social event, like holding a regular conversation didn’t leave me mentally gasping for air).

Unfortunately, I’m one of the first to arrive, it would seem. With my head lowered, I look around from beneath my lashes, wordlessly admiring the beauty of the decorations and acknowledging the time someone obviously put into this (even if I don’t care to appreciate it myself). Eventually my eyes find the list—a list and a name tag. Suddenly I feel my heart leap into my throat, pounding and screaming and thrashing. So...someone is actually looking for me? For me? Someone with know if I leave? All of a sudden I’m warring between the facade of politeness and my innate desire to run.

Trying to swallow past the tightness of my throat while my breath hitches like a gasp in my throat, I try not to think too much. Ignoring the trembling of my legs, I snatch my ‘name tag’ and shuffle into a dark corner, lowering my head so that my hair falls like a curtain between me and other wandering eyes. I can feel them (ignore it, ignore it). I try counting my breaths as a distraction.


“Speech.”
We build it up, we tear it down
We leave our pieces on the ground
