This is for the girl,

The one that closes her eyes as she passes a mirror  

Who wishes her skin was clearer

Her hair longer

Her stomach toner

Her arms stronger

She feels like its not her body, for she can't be the owner


This is for the girl

Whos most used word is “Sorry”

Sorry for laughing

Sorry for smiling

Sorry for disappointing


This is for the girl

Who overworks at the gym

To achieve what is perfect

For attention from him


This is for the girl

Whos most used word is “sorry”

Sorry for being sad

Sorry for feeling

Sorry for being mad


This is for the girl who thinks her only fan is her mother

who feels sort of invisible

like the box to check that says,”other”

 

This is for the girl who’s most used word is “Sorry”

Sorry for talking

Sorry for looking

Sorry for being.


But this is for the girl

Who needs to know her worth,

And that is the most beautiful on this earth.
