Embarrassment

As the words ring through the air

I stand, completely frozen

I hide my eyes with my hair

They are undeterred by the notion

I wring my hands

Twisting and twisting

This wasn’t in the plans

This wasn’t what I was thinking

My face heats up

As I internally beg

For silence to startup

What am I doing with my leg?

It’s shaking

Moving up and down

As I feel my body quaking

My face folds into a frown

Why do you say that?

I asked, unable to comprehend

They didn’t answer, they just spat

Seems their evil is a permanent trend

My heart beats faster

As my palms get sweaty

My tongue feels like plaster

What they said feels heavy

Even if they forgive me

Those words will always scar my heart

Even if they cannot see

The wounds that make it art.
