Just A Girl

I'm just a girl, and this is my world.
I never asked for it to be this way,
but that's life for you, never fair.
I'm never sure what I should do,
but what should you care?
my world isn't nice,
and it's certainly not forgiving.
you can come in if you like,
but you'd better think twice.
it's not all that you think it may be.
I make it seem alright,
though to most, it must seem full of fright.
you may think you're tough,
but my world is tougher.
it's beaten many before,
and there are many yet to come.
it's not for everyone, who would want it?
this is a life of desperation and last resorts,
mostly just lucky breaks.
the world sees me, and my life,
more ways than I can imagine,
but I'm just a girl.
there's nothing special about me, really,
I've only worked harder than most to just be a girl.
