She just wasn't...

She wasn't appreciated enough,

she just wasn't.

She was beautiful but

everyday she'd look at the mirror 

she'd see something wrong.

Something within her,

told her something in the mirror,

wasn't the reflection she hoped for,

the reflection she'd be happy to

walk in.

She wasn't appreciated enough,

she just wasn't.

She had been called names,

she had been abused.

Her close friends didn't think

of her as highly as she did

of herself.

They made her feel less,

they made her doubt her self,

her beautiful self.

They missed the bigger picture,

the photos they took,

cropped her out.

She wasn't appreciated enough,

she just wasn't.

She, the nicest person you've ever met,

was caring, more than she had to,

less than she thought she was

expected to.

She loved harder than she hated,

she sang more than she cried

but no one saw it.

No one saw the detail and worth

of the little things she did.

She wasn't appreciated enough,

she just wasn't...

Till she learned to be strong.
