Little Girl
Little girl, the world will tell you “You need to buy more stuff”.
Little girl, you need to know that you alone are enough.
Little girl, the world will say to you “You need the approval of man”.
Little girl, you need to know that you alone can stand.
Little girl, this world will tell you “You need other’s validation”.
Little girl, you need to know your worth was at Creation.
Little girl, the world will say, “Your dreams were made to shatter”.
Little girl, you need to know, your heart it truly matters.
Little girl, the world persuades you your beauty is how you appear.
Little girl, you need to know your inner beauty is most dear.
Little girl, the world convinces you your voice is very small.
Little girl, you need not listen to what the world says at all!
Little girl, the world is cruel. It will leave your heart so broken.
Little girl, you need to know all the lies that have been spoken.
Little girl, the world has told you what you offer is not treasured.
Little girl, you need to know your worth cannot be measured.
Little girl, please tell the world the truth of who you are.
Little girl, they need to know you’re not defined by a scar.
Little girl, the world does not own you. Your life is yours to live it.
Little girl, your heart is precious, be careful to whom you give it.
Little girl, this world does not see you. It’s your job just to shine.
Little girl, may you know your value, for it’s only a matter of time.
Little girl, this world is calling. It needs your strength within.
Little girl, you are unique. There is no competition.
Little girl, the world may hate you, but to your own self please be true.
Little girl, please love yourself. This is the best thing you can do.
