Search for a Cure
Dear World,
You looked at her and began to judge, as if being some cut above
It's far too easy to judge a being without a deeper seeing
The lady that you'relooking at is amongst her own combat
You see she's always seen herself as a failure in and of itself
To her, self-esteem belongs to an unfulfilled dream
She spent her years as a child, constantly being reviled
And unfortunately these memories have become an infectious disease
Words were used with such disregard, her heart will be forever scarred
Now would it be that vile if you were to flash her a smile
The slightest gesture could be profound, having turned her day around
Simply boosting her confidence would have no bad consequence
And if only the world could see the potential it has to be
An all-inclusive place one could live without disgrace
But for the world to be changed, the negative must be exchanged
With love and optimism, Amanda
