Got Skewed

Got skewed, If I drift, I’ll choose to steer—’Cause I don’t need a perfect plan, I just need to learn, grow, and persevere.

I saw the strategy in perfect lines,

But something moved faster than -
what we could plan completely.
Now every little “should be”
Feels like it slipped out of its place.
I tried to tighten up the screws,
I tried to smile through the strain—
But the world gets confused sometimes,
And I can’t always rewind-
the impressive moment of the past
into future inspiration.


If I’m off by just a fraction,
Tell me—where do I begin?
I’m not asking for perfection,
I’m treading for a path fit for my growth.
Yeah, I got skewed,
Got my aim out of line.
Feet racing, hands shaking,
But I’m still trying harder to -make my life fulfilled.

Got skew up,
Like the truth got unveiled —
I’ll ponder deeper with every crucial moment,
I’ll learn what I have to speak.


Your words came sharp as -
the screw driver,
Then you said “it’s not that deep.”
But I held it like a compass needle
Pointing straight at what I can’t keep.
I’m overcoming -
conventional wisdom,
Let it go, let it be seen—
If we’re gonna heal this moment,
We gotta start with what’s unseen.


And if I stumble, let me stutter—
I don’t need to fake my way.
I’ll turn the mess into a lesson
For the next time I’m astray.
Let it skew, let it shake,
I can face what I became.
Measure twice, then move again—
Even the weak can be brave.
Yeah, I got skewed,
But I’m coming back around.
From the spiral to the daylight,
I’ll find my vision, find my authentic self.
Got skewed,
If I drift, I’ll choose to steer—
’Cause I don’t need a perfect plan,
I just need to learn, grow, and persevere.
