Accepted
She tosses and turns in bed
Replaying the words they said
Telling her she doesn't fit their standards
Getting up, she tells herself
She makes a resolution
That she will be seen as worthy of their love
Day after day, she tries to change
What she cannot change
The way she walks, talks and eats
Her dressing, she changes everything
She has now become a new person
The funny thing is that
Even after all this, people refuse to accept her
She has even fewer friends
And wallows in self-pity
She cries her heart out silently
And there's no one to hear her cries
Let's fast forward a little bit and see
She's different now
She sees herself in a different light
She may not be accepted by others
But she accepts herself for who she is
After accepting herself, she sees that people are drawing closer to her
She now knows she belongs
And doesn't have to be lonely anymore
