the words her mind formed hit at her...
slowly at first
then rained on her soul like blows.

I am ugly she said,
I should not be loved...
I deserve no kindness...

I hate myself
This ugly face
This body with fat
That takes up my space

No one should love me, yet love i crave

Each night she'd cry herself to sleep
These words forming her sorry lullaby

Alone in bed with tears she fed whatever was left of her soul....
Little did she know that as she slept
Her angels wept
for the little lost girl

"How can we calm you, why don't you hear?
he only took what he could, your beautiful heart is right here...
cry not little girl...please don't be so sad,
the world has been bad to you
your beauty's still intact...
call upon us...we'll tell you how...
listen to us in the silence of your heart...and you'll hear our song...
you brighten up this world with your lovely smile
you conquer with your grace
you are queen
this is your place
think no less of yourself
no matter what they do...
your tears shall like the phoenix...
rise and create something new
don't despair dearest
life will give you your due"
