Why do they call me those mean names?
I never did anything to them.
Why must they say harsh things?
Mommy why aren't I pretty?
The kids all call me ugly.
Why can't I be pretty like them?
Why mommy, why?
Mommy how come I'm not smart?
Everyone thinks I'm dumb.
I don't understand why everyone hates me.
Why can't I be like everyone else.
Mommy how come no one loves me?
Why am I doing wrong?
Everytime I let someone into my heart,
I always end up hurting them.
Mommy I love you so.
How much you'll never know.
Grow old along with me.
Let's keep the past as but a memory.
