Refuge From Failure
He tore me limb from limb
rearranged my parts to his own needs
and glued me forever onto his own failures.
But I prayed to the wind to blow me apart
and scatter me into the sea where I could bathe
in the healing briny peace where I could rest
finding a refuge to soothe my scars
rebuilding myself into foundation of light
so I could shine once more in the daylight.
Failure
Apparently I am
Cuz no one gives a damn
When I do something right
It just causes a fight
They say I'm always wrong
But I need to stay strong
Do you know how long
It's been since I could belong
My grades are never good enough
I'm sorry, but sometimes it's tough
To always keep them up
Sometimes I break down and need to wind back up
But I'll always let everyone down
I might as well just drown
In a river or lake
I mean, all I've ever been is a mistake
