That Awkward Moment

That awkward moment . . .

When you were always too young, but now you're too old,

When it's too hot for a jacket, yet still annoyingly cold,

When you want a castle, but you're surrounded by shacks,

When you open your fridge and you're all out of snacks,

When all the cute guys are either jerks or they're taken,

When you show up to class, but you know you're just fakin', 

When you realize we haven't mastered teleportation,

When you don't have enough money for your dream vacation,

When you open your closet and find nothing that matches,

Or all you have clean is something that's itchy and scratches,

When you're forced to remember you can't own a pet dragon,

When you've tried to connect but the WiFi is laggin',

When you're going along and you miss a stair,

When it's been way too long since you last washed your hair,

When someone overhears you sing in the shower,

When you forget to set your clock back an hour,

When you were keeping a secret, but you've gone and blown it,

It makes you cringe - that awkward moment!
