Go-To Survival ⌛️
We shake in our skin suits because they wag their judgmental fingers at our feeble phases of life. It tears us apart to be alone, again. I’m untouchable, not because I prefer it, but because it somehow keeps the peace around me. We cannot have what we desire most. On a dismal spit, our hearts, they roast. Words spew from the cooking heart reflections from them and us. Sadly, the world grows bigger and colder. The wellspring within me grows more fatigued and disappointed with the numbness that appears to be my go-to survival mechanism.

Keynote Speaker, Blindside
She appeared so sweet and kindhearted at the training. Sitting with her hands folded, she appeared to be as polite as a well-trained princess. Little did everyone know, she was going to betray the whole department very soon. Her keynote speech was full of trite comments and expressions. She misspoke a few times, but everyone excused her readily, keeping their attention alert.
