L'Amour De Soi

Her self esteam was so low Her heart was covered in wrinkles No I'm not gonna sugar coat this I'm not gonna coat it in sprinkles You think it was fun? The fact that she spent most of her days on both knees So that one day the man can kneel on one? You think this is right? The fact that every time she saw her complexion Her skin was riddled with stripes? This is real life. Her self esteem was so low That she took away the soil and water So her confidence couldn't grow Just for a strange man to come plant a seed of his own? Not everyone gets a fairytale ending. Not everyone gets the castle and no limit on their spending Not everyone can think and see water bending Not everyone has water, so they go to those that lending. Her self esteem was so low And so it seems But maybe one day her confidence will catch one of those beams Of light with a little soil and feed on some dreams And might just blossom into a whole new she Her confidence wasn't that low No not anymore And no matter how society tried It refused to go back to the floor Believe me, I don't mean to digress but Her stripes went from zebra to tigress self worth went from $10 to priceless Who knew she could be so fierce? Who knew?
