Embarrassments

I am a vent
with air rushing out of my ears and mouth.
My ears are like coals,
red and hot,
not capable to have normal listening.
My mouth, oh my mouth,
what nonsense is it spouting now?
More dribble, more pathetic answers
killing my sanity.
I am a shovel
digging deeper and deeper into a hole.
My fingernails become dirtier and muddier
in my struggle for sense.

Cover myself,
conceal all I can,
so no one can see
how bad I feel.
Red, red, hot
burning flames that
cover and reveal
what I do not want shown to the world.

Don�t look at me,
turn away!
I am cowering in shame,
hunched on my knees
in a bright shade
of red�bright,
tomato red.
Eep!
Back home!
