Nervous

Heart questions my mind:

Are you right?
Are you sure?

Mind doesn't answer heart:

...

Skin comes knocking on the door; sweating from unknown mistakes.
hands stand in the pathway, not sure to either lean on the wall or sit.


Mind questions heart:

Are you sure?
Are you right?

Heart doesn't answer mind:

...

Feet feel an itch between their digits, 
which makes the legs want to relearn the standard of walking.
Mouth opens just to bite air, cause the words are still in meeting;
putting together their portfolios and how they should be reviewed.

Heart and Mind stare at each other,
waiting for the others answer.

Hands clam, Skin sweats, Feet stumble, and Mouth feels dry.

Heart and Mind:

I don't know...
