Red hot
that's how my face feels.
You all saw me.
You saw me at my worst.
Everyone is staring.
No wait not everyone just kidding.
I keep walking
trying to hide my red hot face.
Everyone whispers and I know it's about me.
I try not to show that I care.
I walk alone while you all laugh behind my back for me being so different.
Inside I'm laughing at you
because you're all the same.

Thanks! I really appreciate your support. I've been thinking about sending in some of my poems to a contest but I haven't thought I was good enough for it. When people like you comment in a really positive way it makes me feel really confident about that poem.
