I am terrible with words.
I may be in the class where words are everything and cliches are everywhere
But I am terrible with words.
So forgive these awkward lines, out-of placed-words, and complete lack of a sense of time.


Maybe it was stupid
Maybe it was childish
Maybe it was just my immaturity.

I don't know a lot of things,
I don't know if I'm being overly hopeful,
I don't know if I'm doing you a favor or disservice.

Forgive my lame compliments, I hope you don't find them to corny.
Forgive my stubbornness, I hope it doesn't annoy you.
Forgive me when I try get you to do things you hate, I hope you get why.

Thank you for talking to me even though most people would just avoid me if they were you.
Thank you for caring so much about my feelings and thinking before you said anything.
Thank you for so, so much.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
Maybe I'm slowly moving away, but that's just because 3 years of waiting on your first crush is really just weird. And one doesn't even know if things will end well. Or even anything about relationships. Or talk to you as often as he did.

Clumsy, clumsy words. You deserve better. You always make me jealous how words fit into places and sound perfect. And that's not because of love.
I. Can. Not. Write. Poems.
But I can try. [and fail]

if you look very carefully on my skin you can see it

I don't think I should hit submit.

I don't know whether to give actual critique, if you're serious about poetry, or if you're just venting, either way.

Clumsy words are a good start.
