Toughen Up
he's a big man
who shows that he's weak
everytime his words
cut her to her knees
he hits her hard
with words that hurt
cracked her mind
broke her heart
nothing she can do
is ever good enough
she tries to turn her back
but can't toughen up
she never ever smiles
she always feels real low
not proud of herself
her self esteem is blown
she looks in the mirror
her image she can't see
the once lively girl
who was full of belief
