honesty in the best policy.... right?

the walk/ a little removed

despite being unsure of a great many things in her life, she always carried herself with a strong sense of self confidence. head held up, shoulders back, long legs taking lengthy strides. very sure of her step. (or so she would have you believe from appearances).

this confidence, in combination with her silent manner, uncontrollable expressive features, and watchful eyes often led others to think of her as intimidating. or worse yet-- as someone who believed themselves to be superior to others. both of these notions, to her, were ridiculous. yet she didn't possess the words to combat these ridiculous ideas.

instead, she watched, a little removed from everything and everyone, and waited. waited for someone who would be able to read and understand her without words. she wasn't confident she'd find them-- but you'd never know that from her walk.
