Bits and Pieces
© A. Zoli 2010

I am made up of bits and pieces,
tiny fragments of light
I am full of trouble and worry and fear
Trying to travel the road that is right

But I stumble; I fumble most of the time
I make mistakes and I fall out of line
I am guilty of loving and giving too much
And I stick around when I don’t get enough

But I don’t want to forget
All the pain that got me to where I am
It’s the strength in me that pushes on
And it remains after they’ve gone
After they’ve gone

I am human, not perfect, never said that I was
I am still learning what dishonesty does
To a heart that is fragile and broken in two
Trying to mend without any glue

But I wonder, I ponder some of the time
Am I really making the most of my life
I get caught up in nonsense and I fail to see
All that I want is right here in me

Cause I don’t need anyone
I know I deserve everything that I’ve won
It’s the strength in me that pushes on
And it remains after they’ve gone
After they’ve gone

Cause I know I will never forget
All the pain that got me to where I am
It’s the strength in me that carries on
And it remains after they’ve gone
After they’ve gone
After they’ve gone
After they’ve gone

I am made of of bits and pieces
Tiny fragments of light
