Asymmetry
Misaligned bones, misaligned eyes,
Raging ruby arteries, I ravage and defile.
Misaligned thoughts, oh how I despise,
This asymmetry, it's warped and vile...

My throat's contorted into cackles of pity,
Twisting taunts tied in knots of envy,
My distorted disfiguration defines me.

Stains and smears of rippling reflections,
Hide away my heart, overlap its emotions.

I'm a misshapen masterpiece meant to show,
An example of abnormality, stooped too low.
I call myself a work of art, but I know,
That I look like a painting made by freaking Picasso!

Splashes and splatters of imitations,
Conceal my soul, speckled with imperfections.

My malformed mind's spiralling, I'm sickly,
Yet I don't hide away, I'm not cowardly,
And I sometimes fantasize if I could ever be pretty...

Who am I kidding?

My unveiled ugliness defines me!

Misaligned teeth, misaligned ears,
Pearly yellow, I beam a stale, smelly smile.
Misaligned words, oh how I hold them dear,
This asymmetry, it's just my style...!
