I tried to write a haiku,
But kinda ran out of syllables
So then I tried a limerick
My sister said writing like that should be against the rules

Hung out with a kid who wanted to be a spy,
And my sixth birthday party had a secret agent theme
My friend got obsessed with soccer,
Only my bad skills kept me off the team.

Then I tried basketball,
And even with help,
It took me a while to realize
I was happiest being myself.
