#30in30 2016, Day Eight: The UnCool

She said she want somebody
she can be cool with
But I ain't never been cool before
I really want to make this work
I'm really attracted to her
But I ain't never been cool before

When I'm with her, I know she sees it
Hears me stutter, notices my awkwardness
I hate it
I try to hold open doors
I try to make sure she's comfortable
I'm sure I look like a fool

Being me is all I know how to be
I hope being me is enough to be
Because being cool ain't just ain't me
I'm hoping that my trying counts
I've never been the type to lie
So I won't even try to be cool

Maybe I can change her mind
Maybe I can wow her otherwise
That's what I tell myself
Because I know she's used to the cool types
and I ain't never been cool
Maybe I'm setting myself up for failure
