These Damaged Goods

 These Damaged Goods

I shine the brightest

In my darkness

The one you adore

Is so hated. 

I’m misunderstood 

Try as I might

Despite my heart

I’m all alone 

And in the end I

Can only cry 

I’m insufferable to myself

I don’t know 

If I show

Who I am

Would you care 

Or pass me as inconvenient 

These damaged goods

My heart my soul 

And confidence 

Mean nothing to anyone

These damaged goods

My life my love

And all my spirit 

Mean nothing to anyone 

I crave desire 

That approval 

It’s an empty goal 

I’ll never know

What a soul feels like

I feel wasted 

Truly Unfulfilled 

Lost in the world

And when it does end 

At least I try

I’ll be my own worst enemy 

In my eyes

If I try

To be right

Would you see

How great I am or walk away 

These damaged goods

My heart my soul 

And confidence 

Mean nothing to anyone

These damaged goods

My life my love

And all my spirit 

Mean nothing to anyone 

When your worst enemy is yourself

You always try to find a way out of

The battle you have with yourself

A TKO with that negativity 

But it never ends

That darkness holds on

And drags me down.  

To the ground

And breaks me up leaving 

These damaged goods

My heart my soul 

And confidence 

Mean nothing to anyone

These damaged goods

My life my love

And all my spirit 

Mean nothing to anyone
