Sense Sonnet - Acher

Bad Timing

I was invited over to
A pool party with the cool gang.
It was like a long dream come true -
In with the in kids just to hang.
I wore a brand new swimming suit,
A one piece in ivory white.
Many were saying I looked cute.
But then something was not quite right.
Everyone started to stare.
All their stares hit me like a flood.
Horrified, I looked down , and there
My suit bottom was splotched in blood.

I know that my parents mean well.
But this growing up stuff is hell.
