I can be Socially Awkward

I can be Socially Awkward

I can be socially awkward.

I won’t deny.

Growth from circumstances has made me less blind.

It’s not like sometimes words pop out of my mouth before I even know what I am saying

In fact, I plan it out and plan it out too much and I end up failing.

You’ll know what I mean if you’ve ever made a good joke go sour

Or became frozen from the thought of being on stage for just one second of a hour,

Or running into your crush, but you say nothing but stutter and maybe your cheeks will blush after wishing you did better.

Even though you try real hard,

you feel like missed opportunity after missed opportunity,

and you wonder why socializing has to be SO tough.

It’s not like you did it on purpose,

you just didn’t know what was up.

I admire people can easily walk into new situations and make new friends,

because for me it’s like starting it…starting it all over again.
