She Is No Less Than You
A girl who waits day by day
Hoping that someone can take her pain away
They tease and they nag
But no one can see
That little girl is lo less than you or than me
She doesn't feel beautiful
She is ashamed her her weight
The shape of her nose
The sound her voice makes
She's afraid to step out because she knows all she'll hear
Is the snickers of the girls who don't understand how she feels
She wishes it would end, it could all end right now
The constant intimidation of just leaving her house
She begs and pleads with her mother to stay home
When she's sent off to school her mother won't know
That they laugh and tease her
On her hair
Her weight
The shape of her nose
The sound her voice makes
She hides in the back so no one can see
The scars that she has because of you and me
But she is no less than you and I
She is an angel in God's eyes
But still we pick and we tease
And she begs for us to leave
But the pain we caused is just too great
And now to her
Apologies will come too late
