She was average- she wasn’t enough

But, throughout her whole lifetime- she seemed to hold up

No one saw behind her smile- or behind her laughs and jokes

No one saw all of the pain- inside her wounded soul

She had people to sit with- and laugh while doing work

They were not her friends though- they couldn’t tell that she was hurt

In school she would walk the halls- desperate trying not to cry

She did her best to smile- as she held the tears beneath her eyes.

When playing sports, and picking teams- she was the last one to be chosen

When people laughed and whispered things, she had more hurt and pain unspoken

She had sisters to measure up to- although she never could

All popular and pretty- she knew she never would

You see she was a loser- a loner and a nerd

No one wanted her around- and in the halls, that’s what she heard

Why wasn’t she accepted- she accepted every one else

No one gave her chance to shine- they just decided to leave her out

Day and night she would tell God- all about her dreams

She wanted so much from life- and waited patiently

It wasn’t that he didn’t hear her- he didn’t ignore her plea

She knew that somewhere up in heaven- God was listening

So why couldn’t wouldn’t the kids stop talking- about her behind her back

Why couldn’t she become someone- who would never be left out?

It was because she didn’t try- to step out of her box

To afraid of the rejection- and that’s why she was lost

In a world of goals and dreams of hers- that she wouldn’t ever reach

She had to learn from her mistakes- and then people she would meet.
