The Story of a Girl
Location
this is the story of a little school girl
she went each day but had no friends
she tried real hard to be nice and play
but all she got back was names and pain
she ignored as best she could
the hurtful things said by everyone
but that didn't make it go away
the words stuck with her every day
they called her fat, ugly, and more
each time she just stood there
believing it more and more
it wasn't her fault she had no home
it wasn't her fault she had no clothes
it wasn't her fault she spoke funny
it wasn't her fault she wore glasses
it wasn't her fault she had no one
none of it was her fault but still
she couldn't escape the names
that chased her each day
fat! ugly! weird! four-eyes!
smelly! cry-baby! stupid!
she didn't say anything back
because she knew what they didn't,
she knew each stab left a wound
she knew each word haunted you
she knew she'd never forget
the pain she'd survive
at the age of only five...
