Most Self Conscious Age of All
She is uncomfortable
Thinking they are all staring at her
She can barely look up
They are twelve and thirteen
Most not noticing her at all
Too concerned about their own flaws
One thinks they are staring at his zit
Another is sure they are staring at her frizzy perm
Most self conscious age of all
Middle school dance
Critical beyond belief
Misunderstanding the beauty of this age
