All my life I've been protected,
I could've turned out to be my mom or my dad,
yet adoption saved me from their darkness,
I want to repay those who are my friends,
but thank-you's will never be enough,
I want to help who ever I can,
however, all I seem to be is useless,
mistakes are all I accomplish,
I can't do anything right,
My little sibling cries because of me,
and all I can manage when I want to help, is to hurt,
I'm a useless doll without her pretty face,
I want to bring smiles to those I adore,
yet all I can seem to give is tears.
Everyone tries to make me smile, to cheer me up,
all I do is bother them,
but they want to protect my feelings,
no matter how many times I effortlessly stab them,
they always put me first and wipe away my tears,
wether there's tears dotting their cheeks,
I'm useless and protected,
but I want to be useful, and protect those I love.
