The Weirdest Thing..... Poem by Mahoghany M

Something super weird
Happened to me
He and I went to
grab some food
Before our movie

We got Chinese
and sat down
To eat

I had almost
Finshed my lo mein
When he looked over
And saw my huge plate
Was empty
His chocolate eyes widened
When he realized that
He had barely touched his plate

I cursed my insatiably
Hungry inner fat girl
And clumsily flailed for napkins
While he chuckled

And in that moment I
Felt bare and exposed

Someone was finally looking
Beneath my surface
Ready and willing to
Understand
What lies under my armor
That guards my heart
But I wasn't ready

I froze and
Self-conciousness choked me
Like singing with candy in
your mouth

It's been a long
time since I have
Felt this way

Why do you unlock these feelings in me?
How?
It's the weirdest thing.....
