I stumble through life
Every step a misstep
No matter how hard I try
I can't seem to get it right

A burden on those around me
Always causing trouble
Every action, a mistake
I wish I could do something right

I long for acceptance
But I am my own worst enemy
Nothing I touch turns to gold
I am a problem, always in the wrong

I search for redemption
But it eludes me at every turn
My heart heavy with the weight
Of never being able to do anything right

I yearn for a sense of belonging
To break free from this cycle
But the chains of my own inadequacy
Keep me bound, always doing something wrong

I close my eyes and pray
For a glimmer of hope
That one day, I'll find my way
And finally do something right.
And just maybe I will be enough ..
