I made a mistake
I know that I'm sorry
but the words just won't come out.

I don't want to embarrass myself, in front of everyone

I don't know what to do

I dream of 3 thousand eyes
turning into fierce, cold looks.

I wake up every morning,
my heart beating as fast as it can.

At school I wear a secret smile
covering my deep dark secret.

What can I do?
Time is just ticking away..

It's already too late

I felt a since of mystery and true-feeling in this poem. You expressed your feelings very openly, and I liked that about the poem. Good job. One thing that you could work on is describing more. I read your short story about the librarian, and noticed this too. If you used more description, then your work would be a lot stronger.
