When you’re a shy, awkward, wimpy nerd,

It’s kind of hard to have your voice heard.

To talk to women, I’d probably have to be drunk.

When it comes to love, I’m totally sunk.

 

A ghost pepper will have less spice at first,

Then suddenly, a flaming sensation will burst.

A crush’s first impact is something you barely can see,

But later you’ll end up just going crazy.

 

My sophomore year I took the hit

Right after the summer had to flit.

This year went by in a bit of a rush...

The first time my calendar marked a crush...

 

August: I first met her at a park

She was nice... She already had made a mark

On me because I was totally shocked...  You see,

I met a girl who would actually talk to me!

 

September: I got to know her a little bit more

I’m still shocked that she listened to me, and didn’t ignore.

what I had to say, and once that time came to an end,

I was so glad that I actually made another friend!

 

October: I didn’t get to talk to her that much,

I really wish I had. She was so nice, and such

a sweet person. Once, we stood around and talked

I didn’t feel awkward at all.. this left me shocked!

 

November: Speech Tournament at Lincoln Southeast.

That was when all my surprise for her was released.

That time she came up and kissed my cheek,

I blushed, I could not think, move, breathe, or speak.

 

December: I was In London, she was still in the U.S.

I had an epiphany, which handed me this to confess.

My feelings for her turned out to be a crush

To admit it, though, I was not at all in any rush!

 

January: When I came back I accepted what I felt,

Thinking I had to get over it, or somehow it must be dealt

With, because everything I knew started to fall apart

Before my eyes, and I went back to the start

 

February: Perfect! It’s Valentine’s Day!

At first I thought it would go all my way.

Dammit! The one time I was to speak my mind

about her, she was the one person I could not find!

 

March: She told me I’m cute, she told me that I’m sweet.

That’s it. She completely swept me off of my feet.

As we walked, she was basically hugging my arm.

That was incredible... Hey! Did me no harm!

 

April: I hadn’t spent all that much time with her in all,

But still, for some reason I still managed to fall.

This never happened to me before. How the hell do I react?

With this emotional frenzy, I’m not sure if I’ll be intact.

 

May: School’s almost over, and what did I do?

Nothing! Not one move! I don’t have a clue

as to what I have to do next, because I’m so damn shy

And I just let someone as great as her FLY RIGHT BY...

 

I might have a chance, next year perhaps

Of course, a lot could happen in that kind of time lapse.

There is a chance that I might get over my fear,

And then, I can shift into a higher gear.

 

My friends who knew mocked me in teasing tone,

“WAY TO GO, WIMP! You live in Friendzone!”

Screw that. It’s time to come out of this wimpy little hell.

Basically what I’m trying to tell you in a nutshell,

Is that this was what happened throughout my whole year.

My feelings for someone rose up, and would commandeer

My mind, and when I think of her I completely hush.

This school year marked my very first crush.
