The Clumsy Kid

I have two brothers
As loud as any of the others
I had a best friend
A best friend ‘til the end
Through 5th, 6th, and 7th grade
Until she had to move away

I’ve done a lot of stupid things
Broken my own wings
‘Cause I’m just a clumsy kid
I can’t even remember all the stupid things I did

I was a girl who liked princesses and dinosaurs
Now I’m a girl who often runs into doors and trips on the floors
And I have friends who are weird
Some friends who are feared
But I am the shy one
Who stays out of the sun

I had a cat named Serendipity
But to me, she was just my kitty
Now I have no pets
And my life is a wreck
I fall once in a while
But that’s the life of an awkward child.

I am clumsy and I like poetry...so this poem was born.
