Until one day Storm clouds shadowed the Wall And once...

When it crossed my mind When you crossed my mind Anxiety or excitement gripped my chest I couldn’t tell which A couple filtered breaths and my nerves slow down and i awkwardly smile as I pass through the door, wondering how the night will play out
