Maybe I'm Broken
“Maybe I’m broken,” I say to myself
Then I shake my head and hop off the shelf
I walk the floors and walls of my house
“There’s no way I’m broken,” I tell to a mouse
I lay on my door and I think it all out
“I’m not broken!” I get up and shout
I walk outside and run down the trees
“Broken? No.” I whisper to the bees
Then I fly on a bus to go buy a hat
“I’m perfectly fixed,” I sing to a cat
I get to the town and turn all about
I look in the shops and start to doubt
“I can’t find a hat as fixed as I.”
I sit on a light and start to cry
A group of girls gathers behind
They laugh at me and a hat they go find
They race back from a place on the shore
They hand me a hat that I hold on the floor
“But this isn’t fixed,” I tell one girl
“It’s broken like you,” then away they twirl
Then I bus my way home on a bright bike
And I throw down the hat that I do not like
“I’m not even broken!” I yell at a wall
I get ready for bed and asleep I fall
Then that night as I lay in my bed
Dreams of sock gnomes swirled in my head
I wake with a start and grab the hat
“Maybe I’m broken,” I leave it at that
