Clumsy

The bike that made me fall. I could never figure out baseball. Or basketball, or tennis, or any sport. Anything involving some kind of court. Coordination, I am trying to fix. Handwriting filled with nervous habits. A guitar I could never strum. Those kinds of things are hard for some- One like me. Who could never climb a tree. Doctors would say I’m just clumsy. That there is no problem to see. Maybe they’re right, so I feel shame. That I never get invited to play any games.

I learned to play ping-pong pretty good, but not good enough. So some of us are clumsy, but we make others look good (our super power lol)
