She is a trouble maker, they say
She smokes and sneaks out at night to see her boyfriend
She drinks too much and doesn't say where she's been
She says bad words and never listens
She is a headache and doesn't appreciate
What she is given
Some say not to be so ******* her
She was abandoned, after all
Her mother didn't want her
But what they don't realize
What nobody seems to realize
Is that she doesn't need pity or sympathy
She doesn't need judgement or apathy
What she needs
I do not know
But maybe, what would help
Is if someone took the time to hang out with her
To take her to lunch and not judge her
To ask what's going on, and listen
Not give advice, but just listen
And ask questions
To be kind
To give her love
Show her
And not expect anything in return
To show her whatever she does, wherever she goes,
She is loved, and she is special.
And isn't that what
We all need?
