Cringe Chronicles

Caught in a swirl of laughter and shame,

I recall that night, the party’s wild game.

A video surfaced, me dancing on tables,

like a ripe tomato, awkward and unstable.


The old scuffed shoes, what a sight they became,

as I spun in my glory, igniting the flame.

Friends gathered ‘round, all their laughter so bright,

but now, all I feel is the cringe of the night.


Yet tenderly, I treasure those moments in time,

for laughter connects us, a melody, a rhyme.

We stutter through life, with our quirks and our flaws,

in the rhythm of chaos, there’s magic because.
