Awkward moments

When you are young

What our parents could not teach us

As we engage them one by one

The growing pains of youth

There is maturation in every age

We are most awkward

If we box ourselves into a cage

Not having the confidence

In how we act or what we say

Our behavior will be tested in real time

Through this embarrassment we may find another way

I’d like to think I’ve learned lessons

Watching my friends at play

So if you observe closely

You just might learn something everyday

Do not punish yourself

When you look back upon a miscalculation

We all have to endure

Our self arbitration
