Blush
Hereditary flush of humility
all eyes on you now
building intensity to participate
popular beliefs misunderstood embarrassment
Forced into an unfriendly world
taken from the peaceful place of observation
social conformity an awkward arousal
loud voices rise in fits of cruel laughter
how easy it must be to divert attention
safer to lie in criticism
then answer to the uncomfortable
Growing pains of the introvert
centre stage holds no allure
a preference to think first, speak second
scarlet red the identifying mark,
of the warmhearted soul
~ Camille
