Broken Down

I feel like

and old pick-up truck
Beaten, rusty

Broken down

I just need

To be cleaned
Polished, waxed

Inspected

I still search

For someone
Love me, Care for me

Accept me

I am a

Broken down pick-up truck
Beaten, rusty

Broken down

I skim the

surface of style
Awkward, Introverted

But no one really takes time to look under the hood.
