I lack symmetry
but I can still love me
If I want to
nobody will force me either way
but either way
I can’t get to perfection
I can’t even get close
I lack symmetry
but I can still see the good in me
If I wanted to
and I know that nobody will force me either way
but somebody should
and if they could
nobody can make me believe it
anyway, can they?
