Webcam Blues

Another one begins, I see the others' faces

They're smiling at each other

I wonder if I can too

My hand reaches for the button

My name gets called out

And my hand stops, I hesitate, then take it back

I don't respond

And they stop calling when they get no reply


Another one and the same thing

Hesitation and no reaction from my side

My hesitation is termed ignorance and arrogance

By everybody

I stare at the things in my room

Books scattered, cracks in the wall, a food plate lying on my desk

Do I want them to see this? No


The hesitation has turned to fear

A fear which I wish I could overcome but at the same time I don't want to

Why?

Is it because of them? Their judgements?

No, it's my own

The fear of what I'll think of myself is why the button is never pressed

But they don't know that, they can't know that

So I let my webcam blues remain my arrogance, my ignorance.
