I looked around mindlessly
Just minding my own business


Then I realized


Everyone else was wearing shorts

So why did he tell me to change out of mine, Just because it’s “cold”?



“Oh,” I think to myself,

“He’s ashamed of me.”


It was kind of odd because I didn’t feel anything at that
However, at the same time,
I never want to show another part of me again

My skin just feels a bit too tight—
Ever since that realization.
