Angry tears,
Wishing on falling stars,
Indescribable pain and hidden scars.
This is the story of a girl I know.

Criticized for who she loves,
Ridiculed by those who "love" her.
So many nights,
So many tears,
Knowing that she'll have to endure it for so many more years.

Growing up came like a curse,
And oh how she knew it would only get worse...

Trying to make herself perfect,
In order to make up for that one "flaw".
She can't see how beautiful it made her heart.
Her arms embrace the weeping,
And in a world full of ignorance,
She is our shining light.
This is the story of a girl I know.
