This is a story Of the girl who was never the prettiest. She was never the skinniest Never the most popular Never the absolute smartest Never invited to all of the parties. She was above average, But never the best. This is the story Of the girl Who lived to make everyone around her happy. The girl who knew what it felt like to hurt Knew what sobbing sounded like Late in the night When no one else was around. This is the story of the girl Who held her emotions inside Because she wanted to help others Instead of focusing on herself. The story of the girl who forgot what happy Felt like. She forgot what it was like To wake up in the morning And not worry about what people might read in her face Might see in her eyes Might think about her appearance. She couldn’t stop wondering Why people never noticed That underneath her perfectly composed Wonderfully put together Outer layer, She was tearing at the seams. This is the story of a girl Who was living life On the edge of a breakdown Until her fall-down Brought her around. This is the story of the girl Who got out of her town Was forced to figure out who she was And finally got the opportunity to make herself happy. Finally stopped caring What other people might think. The girl Who kissed the girl Because that’s what was going to make her happy. The girl Who held her hand Because that’s what she wanted to do. The girl Who came back home for break And told her friends, Through the terror and with a shaking voice, That she has a girlfriend now And she’s finally happy. And listened with relief As her two best friends Said the things she always knew they would say. “I don’t care who you like. I don’t care what you do. I’m glad you’re making yourself Happy.”
