I've been ripped to shreds by the world,

have been blown down like a leaf from a tree,

have been knocked around, shoved around,

pushed around, by everyone.

My heart is torn to tatters

that are left blowing in the wind,

to sail around the world in twenty seconds,

to be stepped on, by everyone.

I used to wish that you would come,

would tell me who I really am,

that you would make my vision clear,

that you would super-glue together my torn heart.

I used to wish that you would make it better,

would fix the problems in my life,

would hug me close, comfort me,

fix together the broken pieces of my heart.

I used to wish,

but now I can't,

I'm broken now, cannot be fixed,

not even by your magic fingers.

I used to wish and dream,

hope for the future filled me,

but now all I feel is hopeless loss

as I look down at the torn bits of my heart.
