I Write Poetry

Stand Up, It Is Time To Be Humiliated

By: Amastacia
Written on April 25th, 2010

Proverbs of an ancient world release a faint pulse

through my lips as they morph musical notes

And drip ink-like drops into funky quotes.

Growl!

You can hear a howl.

Then Stop!

The words are becoming anamalistic

And my heartbeat is at a mile a minute.

My lungs are heaving and breathing to the limit.

So stand on that stage and tell me

Was it you here the whole time?

And the room got dark.

Silence hushed across the crowd.

Live the moment

Let die.

So stand up....

It is time to be humiliated.

    Wow sounds like a moment I had where we were at a break dance competition back in the 80's - (yes I'm that old ha ha ha) - and it came time for me to bust out and do my moves we'd been practicing for like fo-eva and then suddenly I just went blank...and as the spot light went on me I froze...loooonnnnggggg paaaauuuusssseeee...and I just walked off stage humiliated...but thats nothing compared to the time my friends threw me out of the boys showers right smack dab into the middle of the girls national volleyball champs final.....completely naked......humiliation - hell no I took a bow to a standing ovation and ......did my signature move...walked off stage ha ha ha
