Humiliation

A short free verse poem describing embarrassment.

A buttery silence spreads across the room,

A giggle there, a snicker here,

You wish someone would break the heavy silence

Then you hear it loud and clear

Noisy laughter strikes you sharply in the face 

You blush as fast as a fire

Shielding your face from your obnoxious comrades

Hiding seems to be the best choice
