&quot;The path to true love is paved by the person who doesn&#039;t see your flaws as imperfections.&quot; <br /> &quot;Just because your single doesn&#039;t mean your heart isn&#039;t taken.&quot;

Once upon a time,
There was a little girl
With a mommy who didn't love her


And all she wanted was for her mommy to love her


She knew she was different,
She also knew that it didn't matter
She lost hope
That anyone would notice


Notice the bruises
Care about the tears


She got taken away from her mommy
And she thought maybe someone would  love her
Like her different


Instead she saw all the lies.
All the lies the world tells,
that little girls will always have loving mommies and loving daddies
That smiles are contagious


Once upon a time
A little girl
Discovered the truth.
