I knew a girl who hated herself
She cried and cried every night of her life
The sadness she carried overflowed from her mind
Everytime she'd look in the mirror she wanted to die
The face she saw broke her heart and brought tears to her eyes
She never knew how beautiful she was
The only thing she saw was the vision in her mind
Broken and twisted and far from the truth
She searched for love all over town
Where anybody could have her for three simple words
They used her as she used herself, broke her mind and tore out her soul
I never found out how she could lie
With dreams in her eyes and the nightmares in her mind
Lying in my arms she wept for her sins
For trying to be someone she should never become
She rose from my arms and wiped the tears from her face
With a glint in her eye and a flash in her smile
She turned and strolled out of the room and into the night
Out in the cold and far from her home
She stumbled and fell and thought she was alone
Then without hope, on a rope too tight
She died that night in a plunge of grief and a fall of doubt
I knew a girl who hated herself
I cried and cried every night of my life
The sadness she carried overflowed into my mind
She cried and cried every night of her life
The sadness she carried overflowed from her mind
Everytime she'd look in the mirror she wanted to die
The face she saw broke her heart and brought tears to her eyes
She never knew how beautiful she was
The only thing she saw was the vision in her mind
Broken and twisted and far from the truth
She searched for love all over town
Where anybody could have her for three simple words
They used her as she used herself, broke her mind and tore out her soul
I never found out how she could lie
With dreams in her eyes and the nightmares in her mind
Lying in my arms she wept for her sins
For trying to be someone she should never become
She rose from my arms and wiped the tears from her face
With a glint in her eye and a flash in her smile
She turned and strolled out of the room and into the night
Out in the cold and far from her home
She stumbled and fell and thought she was alone
Then without hope, on a rope too tight
She died that night in a plunge of grief and a fall of doubt
I knew a girl who hated herself
I cried and cried every night of my life
The sadness she carried overflowed into my mind
What I've written here, especially the end is, although based on personal experience, symbolic. It is about self image, and how a negative self image can be utterly toxic to a person, and it can pollute those around you. A negative self image/low self esteem, can be destructive and can wreak havoc in one's life. I know I've been there. In high school, I was probably the biggest nerd there is. It killed me. Later in life, my now ex girlfriend had the worst self image I've ever seen and it made our relationship toxic. Often, a low self-esteem stems from late primary school to high school, and is probably one of the most destructive things that could ever happen to a person. If school bullies only knew the consequences of their incessent teasing and ridicule it had on the poor recipient.
I've come through it, and although I'm a nerd, I now LOVE it
