Chad, a lopsided bird had a shoulder that popped up
The other one held him down when he went to sup
Why am I so asymmetrical? He asked his birdy daddy.
No idea, his dad said. Want to be my caddy?
His dad was a golfer, and symmetrical too.
His mother was teensy lopsided, her name was Lu.
His sister was symmetrical like their dad.
I guess I could carry your clubs, said lopsided Chad.

People say it's normal for some part of your body to be lopsided,
not everything is perfectly symmetrical.
What if it's my heart that's lopsided?
I think it's because parts of it slowly fell away
After I entrusted it to you.

I tread so lightly
upon taut thread of being
holding back restrained
fearing failure ever poised
lopsided by threat reward

Such a lopsided affair,
are you game..
should you care
the heart
must,
at some point
perhaps at its weakest
trust.
No' oh nah..
I don't ask much,
your divining rod
for lust of men
or hope of God..
there's only enough
time
to find
each longing dependent,
resplendent
oh love, make me
yours
and you
mine.

He amended a heart he didn’t break,
His lips never uttered a lie,
His hands were never cruel,
When he sang, danced, spoke gently, and when he smiled,
My heart fluttered and was lost for a while
He makes my day when he looks at me and raises an eyebrow with a lopsided grin,
His foolishness makes my head spin.
He’s the past, the future, and the present
His love is tender and omnipresent

There's a well-known popular formulation --
Achievement's ninety-nine percent perspiration
On the heels of one percent inspiration
What's missing from this lopsided equation?
~ The not insignificant role of desperation

Got up feeling lopsided.
Not sure what to do with
The day.
Wondered about
This green feeling.
What does
Green mean?
Feeling confident
It will come to me
If I don’t push it.

LOPSIDED and SIDEWAYS
Severe blindness and handicapness
Of double mindedness
I can't stand
It pierce under my skin
Ever so deeply to leave no room for open discussion
Only confusion that leaves me with nothing
But lies to myself and unsafe untread waters
that fails miserably to quench the thirst of my true understanding of what is me
What is real
And what is trusted
Which ever so leads me
Unbalanced and confused
