Embarrassment

by Matt

Embarrassment feels like you want to hide away
From all people.

It looks like red cheeks and a big black hole
Away from the world.

Embarrassment tastes like sour lemons squirting
Deep into your mouth.

It sounds like screams like you did something wrong
Around everyone.

Embarrassment smells like moldy food that you want to
Throw away and forget.
