A Dork Decides

a dork decides to stop calling on old crushes
a dork decides to try dignity on
for size
a dork has finally realized her true dorkiness
after almost three decades
of delusion
she thought she was brave
for taking oh so many romantic risks
for advertising her heart in 24 hour glaring neon
she now knows she wasn't cool
hasn't been cool for a long time
may never be cool
a dork is dancing to the drumbeat
no one else hears
and is it then the point
to wait for a partner
a dork doesn't think so.
