“DAMAGED GOODS”

NEVER REALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE ALL THAT I AM,
STILL WORKING HARD EVERYDAY TO WIN OVER MY SON AND DAUGHTER’S AS THAT IS MY LIFE LONG AMBITION,

TO ETERNALLY, EXTERNALLY, AND INTERNALLY SHOW THEM THAT I LOVE THEM SO,
WOULD BE MY LIFE LONG DREAM, AND ULTIMATE GOAL,

ANOTHER ONE I HAVE IS TO TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY TO NO ENDS,
EVERY NEED BE MET, EVERY WISH BE GRANTED DOWN TO EVERY TREND,

I’M FEELING LIKE DAMAGED GOODS THOUGH NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BARE,
SEEKING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE – BUT I NEED HER TO YEARN TO BE MRS. JEAN-PIERRE,

NEVER SCARED, ALWAYS NOURISHING, AND READY TO LAY A SOLID FOUNDATION AS MY WIFE,
TO HELP LIFT EACH OTHERS CHINS UP WHENEVER WE’VE TAKEN A SHOT FROM LIFE,

I’M SEEING MOUNTAINS FALL TO OUR FEET CAUSE TOGETHER WE STAND,
FEELING THE VICTORY AFTER DEFEAT – I’M FEELING LIKE A MAN,

BUT THEN…..
I OPEN MY EYES AGAIN,

DAMAGED GOODS IS THE REALITY OF WHO I TRULY AM,
USED TO ASPIRE TO BE SUCH A BETTER MAN,

SEE A BETTER MAN….
TO ME IS HELPFUL, WHOLESOME,  CONFIDENT CERTAINLY SOMETHING I CAN GROW TO BECOME  BETTER THAN,

DAMAGED THRU ALL THE TRIALS, CUT WITH THE SHARPEST OF KNIVES,
GOOD HEART, GOOD WILL, GOOD INTENTIONS ALL CAME UP SHORT OF THE WAY I AM NOW PERCEIVING LIFE,

BUT I’M DOING ALRIGHT – HEY COULD BE WORSE I COULD BE DEAD,
DAMAGED GOODS IS WHAT I AM THOUGH AS I WALK AROUND WITH MY EYES A BIT LOW AND SLIGHTLY BOWED HEAD,

THERE HAS GOT TO BE MORE VALUE TO THE DENT IN THE CAN,
ALL PEOPLE EVER DO IS CRITICIZE THE OUTTER YOU AND NEVER EVER SEEK THE VALUE THAT IS WITHIN,

EVEN THAT TAKES TIME AND APPRECIATION,
ONLY THOSE THAT CAN SPEAK ON IT ARE THOSE WITH EXPERIENCE,

BUT EVEN THEN…..
I CANNOT ESCAPE THE TRUTH OF WHO I REALLY AM, 

I WON’T LAUGH, I WON’T ARGUE, I WON’T PRETEND, 
DAMAGED GOODS IS MY BURDEN AND WITH IT ALSO LIES MY VERY EXISTENCE.
