At sixteen she stands, with a heart worn and torn,
Thinking love's just a game, where she's always forlorn.
Her first love, not handsome, broke her heart with ease,
Left her feeling unwanted, like a passing breeze.
She's the other woman, in a world so unkind,
Believing she's not worthy, with love hard to find.
Flirting comes and goes, leaving her feeling small,
But deep down she's longing, to feel loved by all.
She forgives those who hurt her, with kindness in her soul,
But trust issues linger, taking a heavy toll.
Always second choice, never someone's first,
In a sea of pretty faces, she feels cursed.
She's the other woman, in a world so unkind
She hides behind a mask, to shield her from the pain,
Feeling ugly and boring, with nothing left to gain.
Social media's a trap, where beauty reigns supreme,
She's too afraid to show, the girl she longs to dream.
But one day she'll realize, her worth shines bright,
She's more than just a shadow, in the dim of night.
For love will find its way, to her weary heart,
And she'll rise above the pain, to find her brand new start.
In the quiet of her room, she holds back her tears,
Wishing for someone to ease her fears.
But the echoes of rejection, they linger on,
Leaving her feeling lost, like a forgotten song.
Her family's distant, her friends unaware,
Of the battles she fights, when no one seems to care.
She builds walls around her, to keep the hurt at bay,
But loneliness still finds her, at the end of the day.
With chains around her heart, she struggles to break free,
From the doubts and insecurities, that weigh her down with glee.
She yearns for validation, for someone to see her worth,
To lift her from the shadows, and bring light to her earth.
She's the other woman, in a world so unkind,
Believing she's not worthy, with love hard to find.
Flirting comes and goes, leaving her feeling small,
But deep down she's longing, to feel loved by all.
Though she may feel broken, and lost in the dark,
There's a spark within her, waiting to embark.
On a journey of self-discovery, where she'll come to see,
That she's worthy of love, just as she is meant to be.
