Discarded Things

There's so many days that I feel that familiar

Ache in my soul

Thrown away so carelessly, a forgotten memory

Guess I didn't suit how you roll

How could I ever be whole

You took from me, my fantasy

Of a family

Abandoned me along with my name

Finding my heart in the darkness

Alone before I could fly

In searching for you, I found the truth

And a life, painted with lies

Life is a tapestry beautifully woven from discarded things

Like me

Wonder what was wrong with me, what was I missing

What I did wrong

'Til the day She spoke to me, sweet was Her melody

Gave me the words to my song

Turns out She was there all along

She saw in me, a potpourri

Of my hopes and dreams

Gave me a chance to be free

Finding my heart in the darkness

Alone before I could fly

In searching for you, I found the truth

And a life, painted with lies

Life is a tapestry beautifully woven from discarded things

Like me

The life I now lead started off on my knees and forgotten

But the gift in return in the fire never burned

But I learned

I learned to be heard

Finding my heart in the darkness

Alone before I could fly

In searching for you, I found the truth

And a life, painted with lies

Life is a tapestry beautifully woven from discarded things

Like me
