Passed the test?

      Tripping. Stumbling. Caught
in time before I fall on my face.
Before I make a fool of myself.

      Life pulls, pushes. Caught and
tossed as though in an undertone.
  Turning and turning. Over and
again.

      A token for you to explain
the quick glances this way. Caution
is pitched so hard at me that blackness
blinds me for a millisecond.

     Taken back by the warnings inside
core, mind that scream alerts of danger.
Quake, shiver in a cool breeze which
comes over me.

    Oh your eyes. So uncanny. Your
mind holds so much, asborbs so much
of me. So uncertain how to react but
stand tall, showing I am strong - as you
well know.

    Turn away. Pretend that I didn't
notice a stare, a sparkle. Go about
self. Tuning music into safety.

    Yet soon as I pull away
my tears crash down my face. I survived
the test. If you could only see me
then. Comforting me. That is if you want
to. Do you?
