"embarrassed" poems
You have been with me from the start soft Hard, never bothered which one you were When I was young at heart. I used to pull you my second brain, little soft Then long and hard,as I grew, you grew with   Me a friend that never left. Only in the cold I Wondered where you are. The years did pass and hair you grew, where Once I had pulled, now you just went hard. Embarrassed I was as always hard around The girls, some laughed while others played With it spitting at them when excitedly hard. Age moved on my friend for life still with me Still getting hard but when I wanted you no More embarrassment on my face at random hard. My second brain, getting wasted each day, never Unclean as cheesy smell I do not want as girls would Run a far. We played in the wetness we have come so far letting The children out in the damp park. My wife screamed Harder deeper my god your big I love your hardness Up me and the children were excited out of the umbrella They went a bit to far. You have been with me through the soft and the Hard, got me in trouble, now three children later I must end your spitting but you can still go hard. ***** your my friend to the end when we had no One a palm and a video was are night in, then softly You went as to sleep in my palm, from the beginning Through the soft and the hard.

An Ode to my *****
when i fall, i don't just fall in love. clumsily, i stumble down and then i land awkwardly and graceless, stuttering utterly at the foot of a handsome man, blundering an apology out of breath, ineptly embarrassed about my shaky hands, clambering to dust myself off, all the while, i try, desperately, to stand wishing i could disappear, i rise as quickly as i can waving off any helping hand so he doesn't see how incredibly stupid i must be

In Spanish, VIVIR means To Live, the proper conjugation of which to when you say something as improper as “I live” would simply be translated to “Yo Vivo”. I live, as a Colombian-American. I live, as “You don’t look Hispanic” I live, “Woah! You and your brother look nothing alike. You’re so… white.” I live, “My mom came home once and talked about a man who simply replied with a horribly pronounced “Me gusta” when my mom said she was Hispanic.” I live, “My dad condones abusive behavior because he thinks Latina aggression is **** I live, my mom asking me “Would you rather celebrate the Sweet Sixteen or have a quinceanera party?” I live, as the white boy sitting across the room in Spanish class asking “When will I need this in real life?” I live, as the “Yes I DO have a friend with a skin complexion similar to mine, and yes, he is Hispanic.” I live, most of my friends are beautiful people of color. I live, when will you open up the tab in Google and search some Hispanic History to fill your mind instead of “Latina **** I live, the messages on the Internet saying “You’re Hispanic? I bet you’re great in bed.” I live, there are NO gender neutral nouns in Spanish I live, yes I DO love coffee I live, no it did NOT stunt my growth I live, one kiss per cheek at family meet-ups I live, “Eskimo” nose rubs I live, "if you’re hispanic, why aren’t your ears pierced?" I live, being expected to remember Spanish just because it was my first language, but growing up with an American dad made me whiter than fresh bed-sheets sold in America, made in South America, Hecha en Peru. I live, my mom breaking into tears as she is so proud that I can sing in Spanish I live, my mom used to be so embarrassed, when I replied “un poco” to her friends asking “Tu Hablas Espanol?” I live, "if you’re Hispanic, is your mom an Alien?" I live, "But your dad looks so white!" I live, being subject to racism hidden in a joke, hidden in a remark about how pale I am, hidden behind a judgmental look, hidden behind a scoff, a laugh, a pity shrug, a fetishized assumption. I live the bulletproof clothing and horrible crimes I am warned about when I say I wanna go to Colombia I wanna go to my mom’s home. I live, as a Colombian-American. I live. Yo vivo.

What if every little thought That lives inside your head Instead of hiding away in there Was spoken out, was said? Would you be embarrassed? Would you hate your mouth? Would you rather be mute Than let the truth come out? What if every little thing That people thought of you Instead of being tucked away Was heard, was listened to? Would you be ashamed? Would you cover your ears? Would you rather be deaf Than let the truth come near? And what if every image That passes through your thoughts Was freed from its prison To roam until it rots? Would you be disgusted? Would you look away? Would you rather be blind Than see your thoughts at play?

What if....
You sat on the other end of the table Glistening, shining, and taunting me Rosy cheeks with spurts of Yellow and Green Silently teasing A juicy, little Apple. Hopefully no one would see me, no one would pay any attention As I grabbed the treat and the knife And began to dangerously peel. I knew I was doing it wrong My hands shaking while my cheeks began to flush Embarrassed by my ignorant inadequacy. Are you left-handed? she asked from my left. Humiliation filled the corners of my eyes, wet and distraught. No, I mumbled. My cheeks reflecting Mose's Red Sea. I was beginning to drown. Your thumb needs to move, You make me nervous, and she sounded nervous indeed. Put it down here. Help yourself control it. Guide it. Everyone was staring now, the whole table awed My ignorance showing, like a medallion at my chest My shameful Apple as pathetic proof. You're doing it wrong. Non così. Basta, faccio io. Let me do it. You're about to graduate, and you can't peel an apple. I began choking, drowning in tears of Humiliation. No, let her do it the small Voice on my left said. She is finding her way. Let me watch her. I finished peeling the Apple Suffocating my tears as I ate. You remind me of Daisy, she said soon after From The Great Gatsby. I choked and laughed, more ashamed than ever. I'm not sure that is a compliment. I could barely muster a mumble. She couldn't do anything by herself. She looked at me, gentle and forgiving. I think it is, she replied Wistful and Wise. Daisy was vital to the story, you know. And I believe that given the chance, she could have done anything that she wanted On her own.

The Frog was doing his thing Hopping, Croaking, Splashing, In to any water that he could see, He happened upon This Jigsaw of black and white Morning sir, he croaked The Cow looked down, "MOOOOO" Pardon I didn't quite get that, "MOOOOVE" Your on the tastiest grass Below your webbed feet, "Sorry sir," Didn't wish to stomp on your Lunch with my feet, So he hoped along, as Frogs do Then turned around, Hopped his best, speed built up Leaping with all his might, Over the Cow, Then gracefully on to his feet, "Cow turned" Whhhat are you doing little thing, As the Frog Replied, I was seeing if I could Jump over you Why? Would you do such a thing, Well mum told me A Cow jumped over the moon, Yes we do Replied Cow Famously Are we for doing this, Feat never seen. "Frog replied" Riibit, well I just jumped over you So now I an the best jumper it seems, Confused, *Thinking, Laughing, Out loud with a MMOOooo You aren't a better jumper than me, We will see little Frog said With that he did a Bounce, Hop, Jumped, Over the Cow once again it seemed, Now it is your turn As Cow looked on nervously So he hooved his feet 1, 2, 3, With that he tried "FAILED" Lost his balance, And in to another's Cow pat His face did meet. Now the cow was not only Black & White But now he was Covered, & Smelled, Like poo, embarrassed Was he The Frog did laugh Ribit, Ribit, Ribit, Loud and clear, Cow looked at frog, Now Cow do you see, Never believe what you hear, Until you see it with your own eyes, This is what my mother read to me, And with that, Frog bounced off happily.

The hug you gave me was special. I’m a connoisseur of hugs, So I would know. It was not the side hug. What a horrible invention. The awkward hug. The hug that doesn’t want to hug. It was not the friend hug. A pleasant hug, But around the shoulders. Quick and sometimes embarrassed. It was not the family hug. Tight and close. It’s full and comforting, The best of hugs. I’m not sure what you gave me. Not a hug, more like a gift. Jumping into my arms Like you needed them. When it was I who needed you. Your soft cheek on mine, Arms thrown around my neck, my fingers on your waist like they already knew the lines. You gave me joy standing on tip-toes.

Lover's Hug
I feel like such an idiot because, My thoughts are masochistic. I don't know if I should feel- Embarrassed or desolate. Maybe scummy is a better word.

When What Makes You Pure is Stolen.
Let me tell you a secret nobody knows I'm insecure, I hate myself, I don't see myself pretty, I'm a mess Mess up in the head Standing in front of you, my mind keeps on running and running and running away From logic and reason I wish I have now I'm under this great pressure I made myself I can't lift it up, it just keep on, in on, in on crashing every faith in myself and chain every part of me Blinding my eyes Sealing my mouth Killing me slowly inside And I can't breath seeing my reflection in the mirror I'm sick of it I keep on saying, I keep on screaming I keep on crying, I keep on wishing I keep on praying to be like them but even the shooting star can't change that How do you run from what's in your head? I can't free myself from my insecurities I'm embarrassed, I've become a mess, I've become a hater It keeps on destroying myself inside and I can't take it out of my mind Every second, every minute, every moment of my life Is slowly becoming something my jealousy made I started to hate myself I started to hate the people I'm jealous of Because I want to be like them   Pretty, Confident, Intelligent, Proud and Shinning Everything I ever wanted, but I can never be like them, I can never be them I'm like an unfit puzzle piece of the society I want to fit in My jealousy, my insecurities made me into someone I despise Hatred for myself runs in my veins Everything I stand for just disappeared into the oblivion like bubbles disappearing  into the thin air And I'm becoming trap in my own twisted world without realizing it As it drowns me, pulling me with its current to the darkness of my tainted mind Its just a matter of time I might breakdown Everyday I keep on telling myself be strong, be strong, be strong stop being insecure, but I don't have the strength to do it I don't have the courage to tell it to my friends, to my family I'm dying inside- I want them to see through me and when I lie - I'm fine they'll believe it without a doubt I want to share it to the world, but I can't help myself to lie, to push everyone away - I've become a fool I know it sounds crazy, I myself don't know why I just want people to realize I need help without me telling them I want them to save me from my own tainted mind full of insecurities I want you to save me from my own tainted mind full of insecurities Can you do it? Because I can't.

Have you forgotten how one Summer night We wandered forth together with the moon, While warm winds hummed to us a sleepy tune? Have you forgotten how you praised both light And darkness; not embarrassed yet not quite At ease? and how you said the glare of noon Less pleased you than the stars? but very soon You blushed, and seemed to doubt if you were right. We wandered far and took no note of time; Till on the air there came the distant call Of church bells: we turned hastily, and yet Ere we reached home sounded a second chime. But what; have you indeed forgotten all? Ah how then is it I cannot forget?

My Hug Buddy
One. When my mom found us asleep in my bed at 4am and screamed at you to 'Get the **** OUT of her house,' you texted me the very next morning and asked to see me as though it never even happened. Two. When my family went out of town without me for Thanksgiving, we stayed the whole day at your place and watched foreign movies and ate pasta. Three. On our first date, we sat in your car until 3am just... talking. Four. When my sister really wanted that new Pokemon game and my local Walmart sold out, you voluntarily drove almost 5 towns over just so she could get it because you knew I couldn't for her. Five. The first time we had *** I cried. I still don't know why. You held me the whole time. Six. You woke me up with tickets to one of my favorite musicians of all time, for a tour I didn't even know about. Seven. When my dogs died, you stayed up with my the whole night as I cried. Both times. Eight. The first time you kissed me was at a gas pump at 10pm after I changed out of my blouse and into my hoodie. Nine. You took me to Buffalo Wild Wings even though you're a vegetarian. You even put up with my singing each 2008 Billboard Top 100 song as it played. I could tell you were embarrassed for me, but you laughed and kissed me anyway. Ten. When I told you I hadn't been to the art museum, you took me. When I told you I'd never been to Chipotle, you took me. When I told you I hadn't felt safe in years, you made me feel the safest I ever have. Eleven. After you kissed me the first time, you admitted the thing that "made" you kiss me was my purple-stained lips after I ate Superman ice cream while belting out songs terribly and sitting in the passenger seat of your car. Twelve. When I told you that you were a terrible tipper and I was a waitress, you immediately stopped tipping terribly. Thirteen. You left me a voicemail telling me you appreciated me, that you felt lucky to have me, and you claimed you didn't deserve me. While I disagree, I felt it. That was the first time I heard you say "I love you" before you had actually said the words "I love you."

Goodnight moonlight, Sweet dreams, moonlight, I am away now, Driving under your blanket, your bright stars lighting everywhere dark, It is a late hot summer night, however I have turned the heat on, on this long summer road, It reminds me of you, Warm, open, and free, I like it this way, Windows down, hot air blowing, there is no room for cold here, I like to play the radio soft, It reminds me of you, Stevie, you feel like the 80s, And your voice reminds me of hers too, My headlights illuminating the street signs just enough for them to dance, like everything has just a little bit of magic in it, The first time I met you, you shook my hand, moonlight, and you were embarrassed about it, I thought it was kind of cute, I might just keep you in my chest pocket on this ride home, I will see you tomorrow night, Same time, same place, Goodnight moonlight

Goodnight Moonlight
One day a rabbit was jumping and skipping and running and flipping, which caught the eye of a beautiful cheetah. The cheetah, interested in what she was seeing, strolled over. The rabbit, so thrilled to have an audience, tried his best to jump higher run faster and move with such fluidity. All the rabbit ever wanted to do was impress. As the rabbit and cheetah grew closer, the rabbit began to notice that the cheetah could jump higher, run faster and do so with such elegance. This made the rabbit thrilled with joy, yet slightly embarrassed of his attempt to impress the humble cheetah. Despite the talent of the cheetah, she continued to lay there and watch with such flare in her eyes. Though the rabbit never understood why the cheetah showed such interest, he was quite thankful for her.

When The Rabbit Met The Cheetah
I sat all morning in the college sick bay Counting bells knelling classes to a close. At two o'clock our neighbors drove me home. In the porch I met my father crying-- He had always taken funerals in his stride-- And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow. The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram When I came in, and I was embarrassed By old men standing up to shake my hand And tell me they were "sorry for my trouble," Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest, Away at school, as my mother held my hand In hers and coughed out angry tearless sighs. At ten o'clock the ambulance arrived With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses. Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him For the first time in six weeks. Paler now, Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple, He lay in the four foot box as in his cot. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear. A four foot box, a foot for every year.

Mid-Term Break
They said Don’t wear leggings Or a shirt that shows your cleavage Because you need to be covered up You’re a distraction They said Don’t use your period as an excuse For male teachers to let you go to the bathroom Because you’re not fooling anybody They said Don’t shave your head Boys can You can’t and don’t And won’t because we’ll suspend you They said Watch the length of your skirt The colour of your hair The shoes and makeup The piercings And they call that fair They said Come to us if something is wrong if you’re feeling bullied if you feel unsafe I guess they don’t remember asking my friend and I if we heard of anyone in our year with suicidal tendencies They asked us because We were the sensible ones The bright ones We couldn't have been depressed. I guess they didn’t see my panic and my hand squeezing my wrist. Because school Is not a place Where you can express who you are School is not the place where you feel safe It's a battle ground on the outside of your comfort zone. School isn’t about education Its a challenge, competition Its a measurement of your capabilities But what if you don't excel? You’re called out for not being good enough You're humiliated. Mocked. You get looked down on Judged Embarrassed And you don’t get your Degree As if a degree explains who you are What you’ve been through How much you’re worth As if a degree Measures the capacity Of your heart And your knowledge And a teacher can share your grade Make a joke and smirk Cause they think you’re not worth it And they can laugh and yell and call your parents Who don’t think you’re any better. Because year after year they’ve been led to believe that you’re easily distracted that you don’t do what you’re told that you’re rebellious Because even if you showed respect to the hypocrisy That you can't help but notice, They still won’t understand that you're just fighting for what you believe is right, for mutual respect. Because that’s not what you were thought. You were thought to raise your hand when you want to speak. And even if you made a valid point You would still get lectured on putting your hand up when you want to speak. Discipline put first. And that is my definition of school

School isn’t about education Its a challenge, competition Its a measurement of your capabilities But what if you don't excel? You’re called out for not being good enough You're humiliated. Mocked. You get looked down on Judged Embarrassed And you don’t get your Degree As if a degree explains who you are What you’ve been through How much you’re worth As if a degree Measures the capacity Of your heart And your knowledge And a teacher can share your grade Make a joke and smirk Cause they think you’re not worth it And they can laugh and yell and call your parents Who don’t think you’re any better. Because year after year they’ve been led to believe that you’re easily distracted that you don’t do what you’re told that you’re rebellious Because even if you showed respect to the hypocrisy That you can't help but notice, They still won’t understand that you're just fighting for what you believe is right, for mutual respect. Because that’s not what you were thought. You were thought to raise your hand when you want to speak. And even if you made a valid point You would still get lectured on putting your hand up when you want to speak. Discipline put first. And that is my definition of school

Love Shy
One friend is deaf but manages to hear twice as much as I do, while simultaneously embedding himself in games and genius. One friend is kind and smart, always complimenting and supporting others before herself. One friend is quiet, and she is both easily embarrassed and easily embarrassing. One friend is the previous friend's brother, and crushes on me while never saying enough. One friend is very intelligent and geeky, and detests wearing skirts even more than I. One friend is really in your face and dramatic, pushing the boundaries on everything, but noone hates him. One friend is the unfortunate brother of a great annoyance, but is her polar opposite. One friend has hair of constantly changing color; blue, green, pink, black, yellow, brown, but always the same hoodie no matter her hair choice. One friend has a thousand faux laughs, but guards his true one from the light. One friend has a mocking joke for everything, and you can't help but laugh with her. One friend has a treasured hat and while sketching everyone, everything, and everywhere, lays my insecurities to rest as I do the same for him, both of us in need of some love and understanding from a kindred spirit. One friend has an obsession with a band and a book and a show, and an overbubbling enthusiasm for everything in her life. One friend has a meme for everything, and a perverse thought for every situation he encounters. One friend is half blind but she manages to see twice as much as me and explains everything beautifully. One friend is crazy and gets away with the exclamation of abraham lincoln in any awkward silence because its just his nature. One friend is as a mouse, but a genius in every aspect and hides behind her glasses. One friend is obnoxiously loud and more of a dork than the gangster his hoodie implies so everyone simply laughs. One friend smiles like a duck in the cutest way, and wears her square glasses in the best way. One friend longs for a love that is loyal and hide s behind his temperment

You will always be able to have what you want Unlimited canvases of soft inner thighs and painted lips, curled hair I saw into you and found that you will always be content I saw this in the way you slept Have you ever looked at someone and thought they were too attractive to ever deserve to be sad Your cheekbones and chest, your arms and back are better than anything specifically crafted Your words are sugar Unbleached but naturally craving Your voice is one of my favourite things I don't know if I believe you when you call me beautiful I should be too embarrassed to write you notes I prefer your blue eyes to the sea and sky. I would always choose to look at them over the static nature

For gorgeous one
I can't unlove because I am Impatient, selfish. I love as if I cannot be hurt. Going on as if nothing is wrong. I cannot unlove because I know not how. I spend my nights awake dreaming of how everything should have been. The speeches I have amongst myself Lost in complete darkness. Accepting the sound of my voice as an I told you so. Seeking a dream that seems so far away. I can't unlove because I accept disappointment. The contempt of putting others first without fear. I truly believe I cannot unlove because I am in love. Young again in thought running wild, free. I consider it a perk. Being the only other person I know how to be. No longer embarrassed of facing the opposite end of the mirror. Finding that the most important things bring the most smiles. I am far from perfect But I cannot unlove as if I made some sort of mistake. Purposely mistaking myself as a fool

Unlove
The power of music and friendship heals dead connections; a well-meaning member of a jam session offers me a guitar. I politely decline, embarrassed by my disability, and they shrug.  Your choice. The familiar curves beneath my arm like a woman from my past, my amnesiac left hand reaches for the muscle memory of fifty years' practice. After an agonizing minute, the G chord miraculously plays, as I played it at five, the three big fingers alone strong enough to hold it. The switch to C impossible; so I play a variation. Doesn't sound bad with the group. My God, I might play a D7 by the next time it comes around in the song. The gang is playing old standards, Ohio State music; three chords and a cloud of dust, which suits my present skill(?) well. I almost cried when a few tunes later, we sang A Horse With No Name to my accompaniment. Beethoven was deaf, yet heard the Ode To Joy. Hawking is paralyzed, and travels the universe. I have three good fingers, and no good excuses.

tie it to my hand
Once upon a harvest moon, a timid gnome encountered a boisterous baboon. “Whacha up to tonight?!” the baboon slurred, yelling loud enough that the whole town heard. ‘You got this man,’ the shy gnome thought, because for a baboon, she was kind of hot. “Not much, ya know,” stated the gnome, “I’ve just been hanging out at home.” “Well that ain’t fun!” the baboon cried, “You’ve gotta have fun, life’s supposed to be a crazy ride!” Embarrassed, the gnome replied with a fib, “Tonight was a fluke! I got out, I’m no Squib!” Laughing she stated, “I think you’re a liar.” “Oh really?” He retorted, “My pants aren’t on fire.” She laughed, “HA HA HA! Good one honey,” the baboon didn’t realize his joke was not funny. Drunk as a skunk, she had no clue, the meadow she was in was not Club Blue. The gnome, however, thought things were going well, trapped in the clutches of her womanly spell. Being a bit nerdy he didn’t get out much, the poor gnome had never even felt a woman’s touch. Feeling bolder he decided to take a chance, until he realized that the baboon had peed her pants.

Chance Encounters
every single line on my body holds a memory i’m usually embarrassed the weird stares i get or the occasional questions from elders who don’t understand sometimes people will even joke about it or this one time a girl from my class told everyone i do it for attention and at one point it might have been for attention, because i wanted someone to notice, to save me from my anguish i always did have this obsession of being able to turn my mental pain into visible hurt now i simply try to put it into words and so when the sun comes out and the heat strokes start i try to cover them up but at one point it got too hard to hide and even though i’m better now, i’ll always be marked for life i’m branded by my nightmares but the monstrous marks tell a story i’m alive and i’m full of memories and even though most are bad, there’s a reason i’m here to show them

my healed scars
The king had a terrific *** The *** ran a race & won it! The media glorified it and put, 'The King's *** Won The Race!' The king felt embarrassed, He gave his *** to the queen. The media again hyped it and put, 'A Royal Exchange: The Queen Has The Best *** In The Kingdom!' The royal family felt frustrated & flustered, They decided to do away with the *** now. The Queen's *** which earlier was the King's *** was abandoned in the forest, The royalty felt at ease now. But the media hyped it too! ***THE ROYAL *** GOES WILD!!!***

The Royal ***
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid, it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real, it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."
