Embarrassment

Who is he?

By Elizabeth Van IngenPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Embarrassment wears red clothingㅡ

upon your cheeks

He wants you to fail

At nightㅡ

he keeps you up and shows movie clips

of you messing up

He shows every fail you had that day

He shows every fail you had throughout your life

He jumps into your perfect, happy thoughtsㅡ

and spoils them

rots them to a core

until your thoughts are nothing

but a spiral of despair

He forces you to feed him

He forces you to cry

He forces you to die inside

He tells you he is the victor

That there is no use trying

But he forgets thatㅡ

His only enemy is confidence

I mostly enjoy writing poems and I have a few ideas for novels but it is years in the making...
