Eyes
My project is in my hand
My voice is there, I checked
My heart thumps in my ears
As the teacher calls my name
They all turn to me and my friend
As we walk up giggling and stumbling
Then, we turn to present our invention
And they all stare....
The creeper that "likes" me
Winks and blows a kiss (yuck!)
And I feel my voice make its home
Deep down in the bottom stomach
Those words I had practiced
Go way into outer space
I hide my face
My friend spoke but...
I didn't speak
Not because I didn't want to
But because I couldn't
Just couldn't
We failed.
We Failed
We Failed
We Failed
We Failed
We Failed
And it's all my fault
All of those eyes scared me
And I succumbed and now the grade suffered
