Overwhelmed

Bubble burst

and all the air particles inside

get lost with a million others.

I look around and I am dazed,

I see faces

I see people,

no bubbles around their head.

Overwhelmed with every slight motion,

especially that of their lips

as they stare into my eyes

awaiting

a response of any sort.

Sweat runs through my body,

my tongue gets tied behind frozen lips.

My eyes observe the slow motion of each person

turning around slowly to face me,

as if they were an army

waiting for the commander’s order.

I acted as if I was anybody else,

stuttered some words

that I would imagine would be in appropriate

in that context,

and I kept trying to forget that whole day

from the moment it ended.
