Lazy Eye Lies
My lazy eye tells me I'm not good enough
My lazy eye doesn't have the audacity to look at me
My lazy eye would rather look off to oblivion
As if uncomfortable at the sight of me
My lazy eye is a burden I live with every day
My lazy eye is why I have no depth perception
My lazy eye is why I can't see 3D
And why I prefer to not make eye contact
My lazy eye is why I don't know what it means to be normal
My lazy eye is why I feel I'll be ugly no matter how much weight I lose
My lazy eye is why I have social anxiety
And part of why I can't cultivate friendships
But...
My lazy eye is telling lies
My lazy eye is a scapegoat not to try
My lazy eye is a weapon I give others to kill me with
But the reality is most don't care
My lazy eye is telling lies
My lazy eye is a weakness but one I can overcome
My lazy eye may make some uncomfortable
But to the ones who matter it won't matter
My lazy eye is telling lies
My lazy eye is telling lies
My lazy eye is telling lies
So I'll set that lazy eye straight by telling it to shut up
