Simply Average

I find it sad

Sad that girls my age deal with so much

And I say that I have a lot going on

That girls my age have abusive fathers

Or teen pregnancy

Or no parents at all

I feel sad and I feel disappointed in myself

Because I don’t think I deserve to be so sad and upset with my life

Because there are so many other girls

Who have it much worse off

And hardly complain

Though I am also inspired

To make myself a better person

To bear through the little pains of life

And improve who I am

Use it to fuel my future

Because I feel I owe it to the girls

The other girls who aren’t so lucky

I owe it to them to take what I have

And act as it’s been served to me on a silver platter

Because the other ones

The unluckier ones

They deserve at least that from me

And I owe it to them

That's all I wanted to say

I had it on my mind

I don't think I exuded it correctly

Didn't put what I was thinking into the right words

But I don't know how I else I could have said it

I just hope my point got across

That no matter how things get

I can promise you

There is someone worse off

And you owe it to them to stick it out
