I've wondered how it is you truly feel A little voice whispering "This can't be real" These obstacles close appear too large to see around Viewing from a distance a detour is found Questions fly back and forth thrown as darts Aim but never hit the right body parts Always quick riling Slow repair Running circles barefoot Your shoes I cannot wear Through deserts and oceans continue to trudge Hold hand all the while Gradually building a grudge My attempts to please you all fall short I fail to contribute or submit too vague a report Head hurting from the flaws I have to fix Given the choice I'd never pick words over sticks Because sentences weigh more than stones could What you speak seldom leaves me feeling good So you paint my imperfections like a mural on the wall Makes me want to do the opposite and not deal with them at all How many mistakes until finally you snap and go Realize the fact that I realized long ago That I am not meriting the effort you put in And components are irreversibly broken within That more time and energy probably are a waste The middle of your heart no longer for me holds a place
