The Beauty and the Misfit

I'm building it up again
brick by brick. I'm going 
to straighten myself out,
you'll be proud of this 
misfit.

This time
it's going to stay steady 
no tumble and fall, just solid
brick walls.

With windows
to see your beauty through.
This time I promise to fully
appreciate you.

Looking at you through the
glass, I see so much time has
passed. We must keep
building and make sure this
time things last.
