Awkward
December 22, 2012
Never knowing what to say,
Or feel or go or do,
Tripping over your own shoes.
Making others laugh,
Getting laughed at,
Laughing it off.
Too afraid of being judged,
To be true to the real you.
© Nicholas K., Weldon Spring, MO

I'm definetly an introvert, but only on some levels. I am sooo shy around people I don't know, but around my close friends, I am a little too impulsive. I am very impulsive, it runs in my family. I hate it, but I have to fight almost every impulse I have, and that's kind of what pushed me into writing poetry.

This is good, although I think my problem is that im a little TOO MUCH the real me where ever I go, and the real me isn't always 'appropretly standoffish' and is annoyingly friendly and talkative! Still, there are times that make this relatable to me, and I love this.

Very nice. I love the trueness of this poem, and how it can apply to so many people.
