I saw a woman
It made me sad
The way she walked
As if she were grand
The bags she carried
Were quite honestly bland

Her chin was up
Like she was proud
Her arms swayed
She was walking on a cloud
Her face was plain
But her confidence screamed loud

It made me think
How lame we really are
Our minds, they're crippled
False judgements fill our hearts
Cuz mother taught us so
In reality, we are all that woman
Painfully unimportant, however cofident we may seem
