Less Than Flirtacious.
i bury my head in my arms,
feeling stupid,
unable to spell and think,
pronouncing all the names wrong.
i wonder if my face is red.
i feel awkward in my desk,
and i want to know if he see's these things.
even though his words are kind,
the laughter deep,
im foolish in my actions,
a little girls mind swimming in a foreign body.
theres blue marker all over my hands now,
and the white paper spoiled by bad grammar
and dominating print.
but something about this moment,
i dont want it to end,
in three days will i be any smarter,
prettier?
will i be any less awkward and idiotic?
