Have you ever concentrated so hard in doing your work that you don’t realise that you are mumbling out loud your inner thoughts, daydreams and feelings. Something like “Women ought to have long tails”, as an example, i don’t know, something ridiculous that you wouldn’t dare to say it out with a fully conscious state of mind.

but you’ve also forgotten that there are people around you.

and not wanting to sound like an insane and bitter person to those around you, you repeat what you said but this time, you sing it with an awkward sounding melody. Hoping that they’ll pass your mumbling as a weird song.

You then shut up and put on your ipod. Knowing you’ve lost your worth from drowning in shame.
