A world so dark and desolate

A life so lonely and cold

A girl so broke and tarnished

Like a doll without a home

She works so hard to perfect

What she has to work with

A pretty face with a plastic smile

A thought, "is it worth it?"

Is it worth all the abandoned nights?

Is it worth all the cold?

Is it worth it to fight

When you're about to fold

From all of life's pressures?

What does she have to fight for?

Pondering to herself

A whole lifetime wasted

All the potential trashed

Because of one bad choice

From someone in her past

But then a little light shines

As she looks into the eyes

Of her precious little girl

Tiny little hands

That posses the great big world

A heart so pure and strong

For such a young girl

She sweet as candy

Dainty as a rose

Big bright baby blues

And a cute little button nose

Her mom looks down at her

And suddenly she knows

All the hardships she's faced

All the sacrificial wastes

Are most definitely worth it.
