Girls Are Worth More Than Gold

there so many different types of girls
whether they are skinny or overweight they are all beautiful girls
all us girls wishing we were something we are not
which makes it hard to untangle the knot
thinking we are pretty enough all the pressure we feel
everyone saying it isn't such a big deal.
girls cutting their skin
still wondering why we aren't any of the good things
we we really need to do is stop and think
we are worth way more than we think
despite all the stuff we are told
we are worth way more than gold
