all the little girls

skinny girl
fat girl
tall girl
short girl
ugly girl
pretty girl

too skinny
doesn't eat
(anorexic)

too fat
so fat the chair broke
(fatty)

too tall
bumps her head on the ceiling
(giant)

too short
looks like a freak
(midget)

ugly, so ugly
needs a bag over her head
(freak)

pretty, too pretty
slept with all the guys in school
(slut)


everyone hears the whispers, the taunts, the jeers.
no one feels the hearts breaking, the knees shaking, the falling of tears.

everyone whispers their thoughts to their friends as they walk by.
no says a kind word when they see them cry.

everyone lies and says they're their friends for all time.
no one knows the pain they feel when "they" turn on a dime.

scared little girls, all alone in this big, bad world.
no one to save them from themselves.
