Something True

My favorite thing is saying something true, he said, but I’m a lot younger than you & don’t have to worry so much about my reputation.

Indecision

torn between wanting to stay & wanting to go & worried it will be the wrong decision either way

Hoping to Fall

Leaning out as far as she can, hoping she’ll fall soon, so she can stop worrying about whether it will happen or not.

Getting Caught

I’ve never worried about getting older, he said. I’ve been too busy worrying about getting caught.

Full Day

I think I’m having a heart attack, she said, but it’s dragging on for hours. I told her not to worry. That’s how most people who work a full day feel, I said.

Enough Worry

There are things I refuse to show you, my mirror told me. You’ve got enough to worry about already.
