Just a girl try'n to do her best
In a world looking out for itself
Struggling to do her best
With her God given best
Not using the face or breast
Fake accessorizing or power of the behind
Feline wiles or manipulating schemes
Just a girl try'n to make her way
Try'n to use the box upstairs
That the creator might be praised
Hopefully expecting, fully convinced
The talents, gifts, skills and intelligence
Knowledge, wisdom, intellect and blessings
Aptly used would attract
And make a way for a girl a'waiting her day
To stand before the kings and not mere men
Who unfortunately have their backs turned
Too busy with the world and worldly gain
Just a girl try'n to do her best
In a world that's turned its back
On good o'l goodwill, hard work and labour
Preferring to reward vice, useless ventures and meaningless tripes
And pay pennies to hapless labourers in dire straits and need
In a world magically expecting that good would come of such suppression, angst and dissatisfaction

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
