Verbal Presentation

Deranged from swallowing those insolent words,twisting inside my throat like a stab in the gut from a barbarous knife... These fragments of my soul levitate around me .... Is this a dream or am i alive? Restrained by the invisible ropes around my neck, I'm confined by the extra terrestrials creatures unblinkingly glaring at me with their ludicrous expectations and ''standards''. There is no way out. I have to do this...... What seems to be like the loudest whisper just flutters out from my lips like a delicate snowflake falling upon the merciless ground.Utterly useless! Anxiously pecking at my lips , i anticipate for those reassuring eyes to tell me that I'm okay and that I'm not drinking myself into the oblivion.
Sweat swims on the wet palms of my hands while my gnawed  nails stupidly try and dig into my thighs as if to achieve serenity;that won't happen for as long as i am standing here, not when all these orbs are glaring at me...            
Will this forever ever end ?
My voice echoes to a stop, ultimately posing a end to this torture, enabling my eyeballs to relax the  red veins splitting out of my sclera, to stop my skinny heart from banging out of my chest. Oh thank the lord! 
I sweep down on to the sweet wooden chair laying my shock stricken body to a rest ..... now i can finally watch someone give a verbal presentation.
