I've always struggled
with the concept of appropriate
Forever straining the fabric
of social conventions
I am harmless though
but I realize
my flights from propriety
make friends and family cringe
Like a maladjusted puzzle piece
forever battling to fit in
to somehow pass for normal
People call me a character
as they snicker and chatter
about my latest indiscretion
I smile like fools do
but it bothers me
more than they know
Why do I always
have to be
out
of
sync?
