Embarrasment

Life with Glossophobia

the Hands of the Clock fall from the Face to the Floor

crashing down in catastrophic Cacophony

Time stops as I pluck the broken Pieces off the Ground

screaming White Noise fills the Void as Space tears itself apart

like Chicken Little the Sky comes crashing down

the Earth turns itself inside out and the Core burns up through Me

the World is ending and its my fault

the angry Noise becomes your Laughter

the Fire settles in my Cheeks as I struggle to calm myself

choking back the Words I'm too scared to say as I stand in the Front of the Classroom
