Once lit vibrantly in the day
now my colors fall away.
Freezing wind tears at my skin,
embarrassed in front of all the hens.
Circling eyes of green and blue,
I'm left alone without a hue.
Never to be truly free,
hiding away, inside of a tree,
hoping they will never find
......
Oh no, it's time to read out loud again.
I hate doing it and find it such a pain.
I stutter and everyone can see
reading aloud is anathema to me.
"Allen" it's your turn the teacher said
and with faltering voice the book is read.
I feel them looking at me as I stand there
increasing my embarrassment as they stare.
