You Think

You think you're invincible when you're on your own. You think that such situations could turn out well. You have everything planned in your head beforehand. Things could work. Conversations would go smoothly, comebacks would come on time. Your voice could be your own. Such thoughts when put into action turn your voice into something that is not your own. Comebacks don't come, so the conversation just dulls suddenly, awkwardly. Nothing goes to plan. Yes, things can still turn out well, but you end up kicking yourself for not mentioning that one thing, for not speaking up for yourself. Everything remains locked in your own little world. You crumble.
