My Poetry

Corner of Gawky & Awkward

2/16/2020

My broken thoughts
Caught up in agitation
Curling and turning
Somersaults

Sixteen was hard
The hardest year I had known
The stars and moon stared
In judgement

Of my gawky awkward skinny
Frame holding up a pimply head
That belted out a deepened voice
And an Adam’s Apple that bobbed

I was certain of my uncertainty
I was confident about inconfidence
I avoided mirrors in fear of
Myself and my low self-esteem
​
My future was so big
And the stars made me feel so small
The journey ahead of me was not
Going to be easy.
