An Ordinary Girl

An Ordinary Girl

No, she is not made of steel.
She is no super girl.
Sometimes she cannot fight for herself.
She needs you to step up in her world.

Stand up for her if you are real.
Stand up and give protection.
Stand in the face of villains great.
Stand up against oppressors.

For her throat is dust from talking.
Her eyes burn red from tears.
Her arms are weak from defending.
She curses all her years.

Surely you want her to live.
You don't want her to suffer.
Surely your love builds up.
Surely your care is gentle.

She needs your kindness and support.
She needs to be loved well.
She needs to not give up on life.
Hands to hold and ears to hear.

She deserves belief from you.
Her heart is tender still.
She is worthy of acceptance.
Celebrate her beautiful soul.

So cherish her for once.
Don't make her doubt herself.
Rejoice in her identity.
Take pride in all her depth.

For she is not made of steel.
She is no super girl.
Sometimes she cannot fight for herself.
She needs you to step up in her world.
