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.

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
