Blush
Hereditary flush of humility
all eyes on you now
building intensity to participate
popular beliefs misunderstood embarrassment
Forced into an unfriendly world
taken from the peaceful place of observation
social conformity an awkward arousal
loud voices rise in fits of cruel laughter
how easy it must be to divert attention
safer to lie in criticism
then answer to the uncomfortable
Growing pains of the introvert
centre stage holds no allure
a preference to think first, speak second
scarlet red the identifying mark,
of the warmhearted soul
~ Camille
“Blush” is a portrait of the introvert under lights — a poem about vulnerability misread as weakness, and the quiet strength of the warmhearted soul.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece holds the sting of attention and the tenderness beneath it — a reminder that scarlet isn’t shame, it’s feeling.
