Embarrassed is a cold chest
Embarrassed is when you don’t feel like eating
Embarrassed is tense feet
Embarrassed is your tummy swirling around in circles
Embarrassed is when your heart beats faster
When you’re embarrassed, your legs shiver, your guts feels tight
When you’re embarrassed, you feel like you just drank a bucket of slime
When you’re embarrassed, your feet feel hot
When you’re embarrassed, you don’t walk as fast.
Embarrassed is an urge to run and run and run...
Embarrassed is arms shivering and putting your arms behind your back
Embarrassed is when your throat hurts
Embarrassed is when your checks turn red
When you’re embarrassed you get a headache
Embarrassed is trying to smile but failing
You get teary when you’re embarrassed, and you get sort of a straight mouth
You’re eyes look away when you’re embarrassed
You don’t feel like playing with anyone when you’re embarrassed
When you’re embarrassed it feels like fifty peas in your tummy that haven’t digested yet
Embarrassed is what comes before being brave and then coming out PROUD!
