Awkward


Awkward

seemingly a puzzle piece that never quite fits

but privilied to always have not quite enough

acne scarred and huched from the way he sits 

not athletic just ... skinny

not smart just ... capable 

not happy just ... content 

to live the way pet does, cared for and incomplete

computers and programs buzz through his head 

If he sweats and hustles past the pack he may yet compete

maybe over zealouse or ... talented?

maybe ugly or ... yet to bloom?

maybe awkward or ... almost there?
