She never feels good enough
She cries herself to sleep
She never shows how much she hurts
No one can see that deep
She comes to school with a smile
And brightens everyone’s day
She’s dying for someone to show her love
But they just walk away
If only they knew what’s on her mind
Someone might stop to take the time
To make her see she’s wonderful
But they just walk away
They have nothing left to say
For the girl who always makes them smile
Maybe one day after a while
She’ll find someone who understands
Someone who won’t let go of her hand
Showing her the best part of her heart
And not all the times she’s failed
She needs to spend more times laughing
Than studying the scale
So I’ll look in the mirror
And stare her right in the eye
And tell her that she’s beautiful
And remind her big girls don’t cry.
The more I look at girls today the more I see most of them have one thing in common: Low Self Esteem.
I use to struggle with this a lot. The girl in this poem reflects exactly how I felt. Some girls tend to beat themselves up when they feel like they’ve failed. If they never hear someone saying I love you or I’m proud of you, it will make them worse. And that leads to things as serious as health problems or cutting.
So, if you have a friend/girlfriend/sister/cousin or whatever, tell her how wonderful she is.
You have no idea how one complement can brighten a girl’s day
