If Someone Asks Poem by DePen Chang

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am unfaithful but sincere

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am irritable but gentle

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am indulgent but introspective

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am quick-tempered but soft-hearted

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am stubborn but righteous

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am fickle but persistent

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am imaginative but truthful

If someone asks
What I lack
I say I am heterodox but kind

If someone pities
What I lack
I say I have prepared love for long
Except being frail and strong
There is nothing lacked
