just a girl

Shes just a girl! She holds her childhood close, says the stuffed bear waiting for her on her pillow She wants to be a good student, says her desk piled with completed assignments She loves bright colors, says the clothes in her closet She loves rewarding herself with a sweet treat, says the sonic cups littering her room She doesn't have much time for herself, says the piles of laundry on every surface She covers herself up, says the makeup spilling out of the bag on her vanity She hates her body, says the tape measure resting by her mirror Shes struggling with living, says the mascara on her pillow case But no one knows, says the smiles in the pictures on her walls She is me, and I am her but I am ok, I'm just a girl
