cut me some slack

[newsclippings]

it's gauche to describe craft
i feel stress, oozing flaws
though i rarely failed class 
i never excelled so i route the woes
"english is not my first prose"
they'll give me some credit
fake peg legs and head hits
i'm no good, not very smart
want you to think so
want to be kind, i'm barely nice
how i hide all my vice 
never given me much thought
thinking so much, i know nothing at all
