Attempt

I put the car in park

Deep breath

I can do this

Practice smile

I can do this

Try out laughing

I can do this

Watch myself in the visor mirror

I can do this

I enter

Smile

Laugh

Nod

No one turns to me

No one asks

No one encourages

I pretend to be one of them

But I'm invisible

I return to my car

I cannot do this
