Tenacity and Ineptitude

Ineptitude keeps my feet glued in place

Powerless to venture out, try new things

Tenacity helps guard against people

Who turn attention to my ineptitude

Ineptitude keeps me from becoming

That annoying in-your-face perfectionist

Tenacity is what prods me to press on

In spite of my clumsy ineptitude
