having a front tooth missing at a party,
just keep that damn mouth shut n you'll be fine, you murmur to yourself
self-consciousness is keeping on that thick jacket
even though it's hot inside, sweat is dripping down your face,
your back is completely wet
yet you keep that jacket on
self-consciousness is when you know
you want to leave, run away and never look back
you imagine yourself flinging that door open,
your legs take you faster than your heartbeat
only to find yourself still n frozen, awkward as ever
self-consciousness is worse when
you cannot bare your body
weight, every inch
down to the bone
that all you can do
is get lost and sleep
