Why should I run away
From things that can
Never outrun me anyway?
It will neither make
It a race, nor will it
Make me a runner.
I would rather stay stuck
In a pavilion
With my non-athletic heart
Which can put to shame
A marathon drummer!

Such a lovely one. I always feel out of place. I’m also non-athletic. I can’t be saved. 🙂

Oh, yes, that feeling of being the proverbial square peg in a round-hole world…that’s me. Although I was athletic, I still never fit in anywhere. I think the word “awkward” has my photo by it in the dictionary. This resonates. I think, however, a lot of us awkward folk fit in here in the WordPress community, and I’m glad for that. Another stellar piece of writing, Aaysid! 🙂
