Somewhat

Somewhat

I’m somewhat damaged

I’m somewhat broken

I’m somewhat amazing

I’m somewhat lovable

It depends on the day

It depends on what is looking back at me

When I look in the mirror in the morning

Is it my father’s son

Or is it the sad angry clown

Or is it the hopeless romantic

I don’t feel so damaged

When I hear your voice

Or when the respected

Give me a pat on the back

I don’t feel so broken

When I feel your arms around me

I feel amazing

When I can finally make sense

Of the words in my head

And put them down for the world to see

I feel lovable

When the cracks in this mask

Are hidden by the smile on my face

This great smile of mine

It hides the somewhat fractured soul

It makes me look somewhat happy

I might be somewhat retarded

I might be somewhat dead inside

It depends on the day

It depends on what looks back at me

When I look in the mirror in the morning

I know I’m somewhat hopeless

I’m also somewhat hopeful

It depends on the reflection

Looking back at me

When I look in the mirror
