How awkward am I?
Almost unbearably awkward.
Not at all comfortable
With the effect of my words.
Sometimes I feel like
Gríma Wormtounge,
Wanting to be Pindar.
Weird, grotesque,
Ape-like, beautiful, epic
—adjectives I want to wear
Like trophies, street points,
Geek points, etc.

I need validation;
I want to show courage,
To display my strengths,
And to conceal my weaknesses.

I'm a puertorrican nerd,
Always will be.
