They say she is a pretty girl; she's got everything going for her But her life has been a painful blur A mother who was always addicted As brothers do, pain was what hers constantly inflicted Her stepfather tried to provide her a better life Away from drug & alcohol dependant family & all that strife But no one is perfect & even he made damaging mistakes Punishing her for nighttime accidents caused her deep heartaches These things caused her to have low self-esteem Not just a little bit, but to the extreme When anyone complimented her on her beauty She thought her mom paid them to, feeling it was her duty Her brother beat her up quite often Which caused her inner strength to soften Sometimes her brother would "take" her friends away Leaving her all alone to play All of these things further battered her mentality Constant fear of not being good enough tarnished her personality Looking for love, she went from one bad relationship to another But she really needed to find it within herself & look no further
