Shrugging Off

Some people can shrug off their failures

Or laugh at their feeble attempts,

While others, like me,

Find frustration to be

What an aptitude never exempts.

 

For when trying to learn a new skill set,

If I find myself really inept,

I get into a funk

With my confidence shrunk

And there’ve even been times I have wept.

 

Oh, I envy those shrugging-off people

Who poke fun at their silly mistakes,

Though it’s our DNA

Which has made us this way,

So I guess we should cut us some breaks.
