Awkwardness surrounds everyone.

Above, below or even beside

It hides inside the classroom

And inside your locker

We realize it’s around

But we can’t do anything about it

Awkwardness is silent

So silent you can hear your heartbeat

The moment you’ve realized

You’ve said something wrong

The feeling of standing in front of the class

About to say something

But you can’t

And the class becomes very quiet.

When you’re near someone you like

Your heart beats faster

You say something

People look, no response.

Awkward is just everywhere

Lurking and waiting for its chance

You can’t avoid it

But you can always play it cool

It is a weird thing

But it happens to everyone.
