First Crush Poem by Audrey Heller

We've all had a crush on someone,
when we were going to school, it
was difficult being around them,
without acting like, a perfect fool!
When you started a conversation,
it's then you became tongue tied,
making you feel so embarrassed,
but alas...at least you tried! Why
was it, that every time they were
near, your heart, would skip a beat?
And it never failed upon walking away,
you always managed to trip over your
feet! No need to mention how awkward
you felt, as well as clumsy too, wishing
you could hide, as you realized, all eyes,
were watching you! This was quite a
dilemma, to be in, thinking to yourself, is
there a chance, that one day, you could
win!
