Imperfection

Growing up,

I saw the other kids laugh,

Cry, be angry, and feel emotions

But…

I never did that,

I never felt that they called:

Happy, sadness, anger

And I managed to,

until I realized something,

This is hard to do.

Most people don’t notice

I’m standing on the edge of the pool,

My parents told me to step away, 

But I didn’t listen,

I slipped… I almost fell in,

My parents caught me,
