Analysis of Behold The Crack
Jasmin Jay 2004 (Riverside California)
Behold... the crack
oh the shame I feel
the embarrassment that envelopes my mind
all the watchful eyes that sear into my mistake
the judgment and laughter in their gaze
I run
I flee
such as the coward I am
for yet again I've torn my pants
and its laundry day
so to all, I say...
behold...
