In the quiet corners of my mind
Awkward moments I often find
Cringey echoes from the past
Memories that seem to last
Why do I replay every scene
Where all the cringe, awkwardness, and dread convene?
Words I wish I could unsay
Actions that led me astray
Yet, in these moments, I must see
A part of what makes me, me
For every cringe and awkward pause
There's a lesson, a hidden cause
Embrace the awkward, let it be
A testament to authenticity
For in the awkward, we find grace
A chance to grow, a new embrace
Let the cringe be a gentle guide
To the person I am inside
For every stumble, every fall
Is a step towards standing tall
So, here's to the awkward, the cringey, the weird
To the moments we once feared
For in them lies a beauty rare
A journey of self-love and care
Let them fall, those awkward fears
And in their place, let courage appear
For in the end, it's clear to see
Awkwardness is a part of me
