Just one thing left from teenage years.
Awkward energied sense of fear.
Still try to fly under radars.
I do not want to join the stars.
Prefer to be home; cozy thrall.
Want one on one; not one & all.
For, conversing’s what I do best.
Just one connection; hang the rest.
Teenage patina won’t rub off.
All other traits have grown to slough…
Their outgrown training wheels to fly.
But, my weakest link: teenage shy.
Naked nerves ride out on cracked voice…
Still serves in making humbler choice.
