Shame

Burning deep in my chest
i feel your mirth
at my expense.
The pain is unbearable.
Breathing becomes impossible
as the blood rushes to my
face and humiliation
mirrors itself in my downcast
eyes.

Unspoken pity
and unrung laughter
at my error echo in the room
as i search for a
place of comfort and peace
that i can only hope
to find within myself.

Yet i only have one thing
inside me:
shame
