Ugly duckling to a graceful swan

That day so many hearts got broken

Honest cold words were spoken

Like knives they flew across the divide

Followed by her foolish pride

She knew the words were all true

They were said by the ones who knew

But she could not admit to her mistake

So she struck like a vicious snake

She knows she needs to change

So much to rearrange

She is an adult no longer a child

If she wants her family reconciled

But she is busy cutting her nose off to spite her face

Living in some kind of weird head-space

Too blind to see the worry and concern

Too lazy to listen too lazy to learn

Now her family is getting distant

She´s way too busy being indignant

Such a huge price to pay

The choice to grow up or turn away
