Orphan Chest-A-Drawers That I Am
They say it's never too late.
They say, "Build your own familia!"
They say I'm worthy of love.
Yet here I stand, sola,
Shivering en el frio afuera.
Perhaps all I'm missing is oil,
Perhaps my creaking scares others away.
Damn cat scratches. Must hide scars.
Perhaps a new coat of paint?
Surely then la gente will look my way.
Wish to find answers.
But still, I stand fuerte,
For I know mi historia is not done.
Of course I'm worthy of amor!
My search will have to go on.
