Awkward Mushroom

Feeling Out of Place

By Anxious InkPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

Oh, hi there!

Please ignore me,

I’m just a mushroom

Sprouting unexpectedly.

Sorry if I made you feel awkward,

I guess I have to step backward.

Uninvited I appeared,

Maybe for you I’m just too weird.

If my presence causes you discomfort,

I apologize, I can't simply abort.

I don’t even know why I am here,

I’ve just existed, that much is clear.

I’ll just quietly sit here, I mean no harm,

I hope it won’t bring you so much alarm.

So let’s just say you don’t see me, just pretend.

My purpose here, I don’t even comprehend.

Forgive my intrusion if it may seem so strange.

The fact that I’m just a mushroom, I can’t change.

Don’t worry 'cause I won’t stay for long,

In this place where I don’t belong.
