Would you be so kind
As to shovel back in
The dirt from the hole
That I've dug myself in?

I wish for the earth
To swallow me now
As thoroughly as the foot
Now lodged in my mouth.

Let me fade into shadows
Forget we ever met,
This moment never happened,
Those words were never said.
Have any of you ever said something so incredibly stupid that you just want to curl up in a corner and fade from existence? That's happened to me more times than I can remember. So I wrote this short thing about it. It sucks, but whatever. I'll rewrite it if it's absolutely unbearable.

It's as funny as it is painfully honest. Whatever you think of how well it was written, I think it has a simple tone that is almost impossible to capture normally. Well done!
