There I stand

In front of the class

Begging myself

To not burst out in tears

Stuttering and muttering

Averting my gaze

Making sure no eye-contact is made

Begging myself

To get over myself

The whispers drive me crazy

What could they be talking about

It's just an introduction

Yet it feels like I'm walking toward my deathbed

It feels like I'm walking on glass

It feels like my last breath is near

Then finnaly

It's over

Yet this feeling is not

As I will have to carry this weight with me

Until I am buried in my grave
