Humiliation

How awful for you. Must have been

A source of huge embarrassment.

Candy-coated at the start to

Tempt your taste, pull you in.

But oh, the angry understudy

Creeping slowly, sight unseen

To pounce on unsuspecting prey,

Turning hero into louse.

Pity not the culprit. He shall

Spend his time in hell

Agonizing over choices made

With bitter consequence.

Better to lend concentration toward

The fences left to mend.

Nothing quite as empty as

A truth left dangling.

Lift your chin and focus as

You turn to face the crowded room.

State your case with attitude,

Fearless to the gruesome end.
