Stumbled Steps

A poem I wrote during math class because I couldn't follow along with the teacher and all my solutions were wrong lol

I stumbled on my steps,

missed a beat and lost my focus.

Broke my stance of poise and hard-work.

I watched you dance without me

from down the floor, your feet graze on me.

I find myself numb as you move,

paying me no mind, a speck of dust on the floor.

I try to pull myself up

but the steps don't come to my mind.

The tune is broken and the sync of limbs gone.

I make a fool of myself

so I let go of my songs of future success

and watch you dance without me.
