When she was little and cute,
Her mother told her, with a hug and a kiss,
How pretty she was.

When she grew tall,
Her friends told her, with a hug and a kiss,
How fun she was.

When she worked at a job,
Her co-workers told her, with hug and a kiss,
How well she listened.

When she married a man,
Her husband told her, with a hug and a kiss,
How wonderful she was.

When life came down hard,
Her mind told her, with fear and dread,
How worthless she was.

Her mother, her friends, her co-workers, her husband
With a hug and a kiss,
Told her how special she was;
But the bubble had popped.
Who was she really?
