Smile

At times aaliyah get insecure
She doesn't know what to think
people laugh and talk about her
and in her tears she sinks.
The spirit inside her makes her feel alone
deaths in her family and issues at home
She doesn't know how to open up
because she already hurt so much.
She's always felt so alone like she doesn't belong
Through her pain she smiles and tries to stay strong
One day she's going to make sure
that she'll prove them all wrong
baldie,ugly,freak,is the words that haunt her
She didn't do anything to them,yet why did she get called these words?
Lied to believing this is what she deserves
Besides looking in the mirror, and seeing what she thinks of herself
Every word they said even if they were joking
Now she sees herself through everyone else
Congrats now she killed herself.
6 feet under with dreams crushed beneath her
All the hopes swam away
Now they feel guilty
When they didn't watch what they would say
She always seemed herself right?
She hid her pain and just smiles though
Little did they know what aaliyah goes through.
What she's been fighting and holding back tears everyday
To her looking in the mirror wasn't beauty
Cancer took her only pride away
Although she found the best in everyday
Thats why she smiled anyways.
Her battle scars were beauty
though, society didn't think that way
Now those kids felt her pain and understand now
that She fought with bravery
