Hands clasp, controlling the fidgeting that exposes anxiety.
Finding calm amidst anxiety, hands clasped in control. 🤝✨

Often neglected,
you are left 
with nothing 
to do
while your twin 
works alone.

You watch 
you wait
your fingers 
fidget
until extended
a turn.

Yet, 
when I grant
any freedom
to step up
you surrender 
to the struggle 
too soon.

I accept blame
It’s my fault
I didn’t rouse 
your right
to spur a spirit
of discovery
to develop
your separate skills.

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to... I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess. Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter. So, that’s me. More or less.
