Everyone wants to find love,
but what if your unlovable?

I'm not the prettiest,
or smartest,
or funniest

I'm not the nicest,
or skinniest,
or most athletic

I'm not outgoing,
or brave,
or lazy

I can't play an instrument
I can sing
but not in front of others

I can't speak my mind
and if I do theres always a stutter
but my mind is always full

So then what am I?

I'm the shy
secretive girl
no one knows

you may know my name,
and you may be my friend.
But you don't really know me

you probably never will,
but if you do,
and accept it

maybe the girl
who feels unlovable
will finally be loved
