Girl You Unique, Even If You Feel Skin-deep.

There's a BEAUTIFUL girl,
with a sad face on.
Thinking shes ugly,
as her LIFE goes on.
She looks in the mirror,
and try's to make it happy.
for she doesn't see she's UNIQUE.
But all she see's is ugly.

She tries to COVER it up,
with tones of makeup.
But girl, who are your FOOLING?
It will come off when you wake up.
Her mama tries to help her,
To let her know she's LOVED
and that she really LUCKY,
to have what she HAS.

She doesn't listen,
But keeps her sad face on.
cause she didn't keep peoples ATTENTION.
she cries her self to sleep.
she try's to stay strong but its killing her.
all she wants is to be BEAUTIFUL,
and make others stand in awe.
and stay amazed.

Her mama says to her,
Baby, you were not just 'made.'
Darling you were "CREATED!"
By the KING of the UNIVERSE,
Our GOD himself!
So stand up my child,
he has left a path for you.
follow it no matter what,
and you will make it through!

Through the storm,
Through the wind,
Till its over and a new day begins.
Keep your head held high,
He will bring you heeling.
now thats truely something,
that you can go tell your children! <3
