Sitting
November 15, 2011
I sit on the wet walkway
Starring at the ducks
I know it's wet and raining
Maybe I will feel the coldness
Maybe I will feel something....
He sits down too, trying to comfort me
Silence.........Five feet apart
I think about so many things
We stay like this
One, Two, Three minutes
After the Sixth, he gets up
It rains harder
I hear rustling
I look.....and see him climbing a tree
Ten, Eleven, Twelve minutes
They arrive
Are concerned, but leave
I bike
Pain, Cold, Wet, Crying
Bawling
I come to the house
Terror takes over
An anxiety attack
I Force Myself To Ring The Doorbell
They let me in
My shoes are off
I am safe in this face of warmth and confusion
