I am a scared little girl
I wonder if I can stop being scared...
I hear people calling me names
I see people staring and laughing at me
I want them to stop because...
I am a scared little girl
I pretend they’re just staring because they want to be my friend
I feel sad at the same time because I know it’s not true
I touch my eyes to rub on them to clear the tears
I worry if they’ll try to push me on the ground
I cry because I know
I am a scared little girl
I understand I shouldn’t be
I say to myself I shouldnt be
I dream that I am not
I try to be someone different
I hope to be someone different,
But for now
I am a scared little girl
