thinking in verse

audience

7:14 pm

there's something addictive to

 standing on the platform

where your words are directed 

at everybody yet nobody

something free in 

shouting into the void at the top of your lungs

unsure if there will be a response

the very thoughts you couldn't tell even your closest friends

something about not seeing the faces in the crowd

dares me to speak

but 

i'm afraid i just made eye contact
