She stands alone
Bleakness all around
In her time of need
Help can't be found

Their false words hurt
Knives in her back
The blood trickles down
Reminder of what she lacks

She is strong and true
But her will is waning
Why carry on when they say
Her spirit needs taming?

'We love you for you'
The biggest lie of all
They want her to be like them
Shallow,weak and small

Stand up,speak out
She won't conform
The sea may be dangerous
But she will withstand the storm
