Just a Girl

I am just a girl in a red sweatshirt

and paint-stained jeans

I am just a girl who knows what it's like to hurt

inside and feel alone

I am just a girl who's just like everybody else

even though people think I'm different

I am just a girl who'll play the hand she's been dealt

and maybe become a little wiser along the way

I am just a girl who's the tiniest bit scared of love

and isn't as strong as everyone seems to think

I am just a girl who believes in God above

and will put these troubles of hers in His hands

I am just a girl who can't see what other people see

in her

I am just a girl who sees everything that you can be

and can try to help you

I am just a girl who feels so imperfect

at times

I am just a girl who thinks she might be defective

because if she wasn't, then people might care a little more

I am just a girl who wants to be surrounded

by people who care

I am just a girl who's confounded

by human nature, by the people who put her in pain, day after day

I am just a girl who doesn't know who she is

but seems to know who you are

I am just a girl who's still just a kid

but carries so much more weight, and has so many imperfections

I am just a girl who needs someone to trust

and let her be herself

I am just a girl.

I am just a girl.

I am just a girl who doesn't feel special or unique or worthwhile.

I am just a girl who's just a child.

I am just a girl who feels so confused and so alone.

I am just a girl who can't understand the sadistic enjoyment humans get from other people's pain.

I am just a girl who is sick of being different and ostracized, but doesn't want to be like Them.

I am just a girl who wishes that the only people she has to spend time with are the ones she can trust.

I am just a girl who talks real tough but is more fragile than she seems.

I am just a girl who wants someone to trust.

I am just a girl who wants someone to trust.
