A Secret Tale

I cross the street next to an alley,
People say hi, say I'm smart.
But who has thought this pretty girl
Never thought she is beautiful.

Cause the least thing she could think of
Is that she has a gentle heart.

I say
You don't
Know who I am.

Ever since I was a kid,
I used to belittle my younger brother.
All I ever did and knew
Was sleep, eat and play.
I never loved school,
I never wanted to work hard.
I never wanted to do housework.

I am
An *******. (Oh please forgive my language.)
I am but an ugly fool.

It's true I'm sincere to my friends.
It's true I smile a lot around all people.
It's true I'm sincere when I smile.
Yet I'm such a fool.
I got everything a grown up wants.
Yet I'm such as useless fool,
Such a bad girl to my parents.

I am
An *******.
I am but an ugly fool.

Now I don't belittle my brother,
Yet our relationship is far from close.
My parents think I'm selfish.
They think my voice and writing is suck.
Don't you know my heart hurts as they speak.

Yes maybe my voice and writing is suck.
But God made no error in his creation.
I got to have something.
I got to have some qualities.

I can't wait to find out.

Yet my life is a joke.
I'm blessed yet I never knew how to cherish it.
Yet I'm a little pity girl with little will.

Cause her basic
Her basic self-esteem got thrown away.

She is tired of her parents defeating nag.
She was young and she didn't understand.
Now she understands
Yet she couldn't forget
What were being said.
What were being said by her parents.

I cross the street next to an alley,
People say hi, say I'm smart.
But who has thought this pretty girl
Is hidden with a secret tale.
