and the awkward family friend trying to make sense of it all...

hospital's waiting room that scares me...

the stench of sterilised equiptments...
the uncomfortable chairs...
the socially retarded seating arrangement...
the big ugly vending machine...

they say stage actors are the best actors...
they read their lines and act the scene out right infront of an audience...
they're ability to hide their emotions and project the desired emotion that their character demands...
only one chance to get it right...

the guy and the corner playing with his irritating psp...
the lady with the homemade soup checking every now and then it stays hot...
the children thumb wrestlling, oblivious to their surrounding...
the anxious mother clasping her shaking hands resting it on her weary thighs...
the worried man pacing up and down the corridor glancing at his watch every 30 seconds...
the nocholant nurse who steps out every now and then to give out her assuring smiles...
the tight lipped sister pursing her lips to keep a grave secret...
the emotionless brother looking away to steal a tear when no one's looking...

and the awkward family friend trying to make sense of it all...

they are all talented actors...
hiding their emotions trying to fool another...
looking straight into their icy glass eyes...
thats when you realize you're doing it too...

i don't know what to say to a friend...
whoose icy glass eyes are staring straight back at me...
"its ok, everything's fine" words that don't seem mean a thing...
thats when i realize, i'm so scared too...

there's no need for you to be strong....
even if you mess up your lines...
or forget your scene...
when the curtain closes, i'll be there to catch you when you start to fall...

ok babe!
