Reaching out.
Loathing the risk.
Shaking hands.
Putting on the smile.
Saying something inane.
Doubting all the while.

Cheery and chipper.
Everyone’s favorite.
All the while feeling insane.
Seeming secure in the limelight.
Pretending to be calm
Doubting all the while.

Reaching out.
Confident in that risk.
Shaking hands,
And wondering at the bliss.
Comforted and happy,
Hoping to remain like this.
