Make It Worth Their While

I tug at my shirt,

Pulling at my hair,

People will look,

People will stare.

When they look,

What do they see,

What are they thinking,

While looking at me!?

Do they judge my freckles,

And my knobby nails!?

Do they whisper of my clothes,

Saying I will fail?

I fix my medallion,

And put on a smile,

Because,

PEOPLE will watch,

MAKE IT WORTH THEIR WHILE!!
