Question:i understand some of it but now all of it, what is it saying?


Red Blushed And All Cut Up
By Paul McCann

Talking to myself there
Someone had overheard.
I was lost for a word.
There was nothing to share.
Embarrassed I was there.
Left awkward and absurd .
A broken wingless bird.
With nowhere to fly there.
Caught red faced there was I.
Didn't want to be seen.
I just wanted to die.
I just wanted to scream.
I'm so terribly shy.
Lost for words it would seem.

its oviously a girl who knows herself well

she prob dosent have very many friends so she talks to herself to make herself feel better and she was heard so now everyone thinks shes a freak so she feals like she wants to go hide because shes eembarassed

I think it means:

he was talking to himself
somebody heard.
he didn't know what to tell them.
he had been saying something private (?)
he was really embarrassed
standing there not knowing what to do
like he was disabled (?)
and couldn't move (?)
he was blushing
wished he could disappear
"
"
didn't know what to say
"

i "translated" it line by line. i'm not sure about the (?)ed ones and the "ed ones.
