Tag To Brag

Once there was a little girl, a girl too plain,

She was sent to a boarding school,

Where she must remain

She must pronounce the words right,

She must learn sophistication,

And as a student, shine bright

They giggled and teased

They mocked her clothes,

In a cold silence, she grieved, she grieved

The girl tried to fit in, she tried her best,

At night she wept on her pillow,

She never got any rest

She strived to earn the tag,

Her sole purpose there,

Was for her dad to brag

She suffered in silence, she never complained

After all, she was a village girl,

Even her tag was stained

She thought one day she would rise,

One day she will have a voice

And no tears in her eyes

All she had to do, was look within,

She had to give up all fear,

The girl was never meant to fit in.
