I know a girl

who could be considered fat

but you know the funny thing?

she's sort of proud of that

I know a girl

who is stronger than the rest

even though she can't score 20

on that stupid pacer test

I know a girl

who's slowly losing sight

of all the things she fought for

that she believed were right

I know a girl

who doesn't care who you are

your social class means nothing

she already set the bar

I know a girl

who is really quite bizarre

she's weird and kind of crazy

it can leave you kind of jarred

I know a girl

who when told 'curiosity killed the cat '

will immediately reply

"satisfaction brought it back"

I know a girl

who went threatened with a tomb

will still say "the blood of the covenant

is thicker than the water of the womb"

I know a girl

who truly hates school

because she really thinks

that learning is cool

I know a girl

who's lost more than she's gained

but she gives a cheerful smile

to hide all of her pain

I know a girl

and its not that hard to see

I know so much about her

because this girl is me
