Imperfectly

I’m okay
if you get me at a good angle
and you’re okay in the right sort of light
and we don’t look
like pages from a magazine
but that’s all right…

…when you’re pretty as a picture
they pound down your door
but I’ve been offered love
in two dimensions before
and I know that it’s not all
it’s made out to be
let’s show them how it’s done
let’s do it all imperfectly

Got my insides all twisted up over the weekend and measuring up and not knowing how to play the game and knowing everyone around me plays it too well. Got myself worried about the kittens and the firemen and how bloody fucking imperfect I will always be and praying that’s okay.
