• I know this girl,
    Who is powerful and strong.
    She braves through each day,
    As if nothing is wrong.
    Her mommy is alright,
    But her daddy is not that nice.
    Wish I could deal her a new hand,
    Or re-roll the dice.
    She’s led such a horrible life,
    And let’s none of that show.
    She seems to be quiet,
    Only her closest friends know,
    Of the life that she leads,
    The road is full of bumps.
    But she’s always smiling,
    Never appears down in the dumps.
    And she is amazing.
    Because even though her life is way uncool,
    She still years to live.
    Each day is a duel.
    I don’t know how she does it,
    I most truly do not.
    All the scars she must have.
    All the battles she must’ve fought.
    But she’s still here today.
    She’s made it this far.
    She is a fighter.
    She’s raising the bar.
    She keeps fighting her way.
    One day she’ll be at the top.
    And everyone who once knew her,
    Will look up and stop.
    But for now,
    People will see her only as dutiful.
    But that’s not how I see her (I see her as how she truly is) –
    She’s pretty. And beautiful.
