The ones with private twitter accounts,
who don'y get 2k plus retweets,
or 34 likes on a selfie,
or any replies on an instastory -
The make-up noobs
who can't quite draw on
on their own eye-liner
or choose a really nice
lipstick color
Here's ... to the the underrated girls,
The one who work part-time to earn the extra dime
because she knows, in her twenties,
she shouldn't be asking for money.
The one who wake up without a good morning text
or go to sleep without a goodnight one,
Who cover being lonely
By saying, she's independent.
And she tried to be happy
for her best friends with boyfriends
and she attends wedding after wedding
and kepoh makciks keep reminding
her that she's out of time
at every single raya gathering
and she begins to wonder when her so called 'happy ending'
is gonna come because she can't help it if she's not happy
even if she's working on it because she realised that
happiness, is a destination, and she's hiking her way through,
but that doesn't mean that she can't enjoy the view,
although she's running out of reason why she's more than her biological clock.
Who feel like they have absolutely no talent,
who feel like they're not made to be on stage
and work better off-screen
and off-stage
without realising that beautiful things don't demand attention
and without the crew
The show simply can't go on :
Because when the curtain falls and the cue comes in,
The backstage girls are those who know,
Organisation & perfection
is an art they've mastered.
Here's to the underrated girl.
who volunteer in their free time
who understand that a life worth living is a life spent giving,
and so they give, and give, and give,
and they do their best to feel fortunate, grateful, worthy.
To the underrated girl
You ---
are, worthy.
Even if he, she, they cannot see it.
You
are the little smiles that go unnoticed across the street.
You
are all the laughs that come out of your soul when act all
goofy with the people you love.
You
are the little voice in your head that says
You did good, baby.
And -
Tomorrow, is another day.
And you will brace it.
Graciously, courageously.
Because you,
ARE NO QUITTER
You're a warrior princess, queen, goddess god damn it -
To the underrated girl.
You've got a big heart
And in a world that is too proud to admit that it takes more
than it gives;
you're not underrated at all.
In fact,
You're a 10/10 rating on IMDb,
You're a right swipe in tinder,
You're a 120 on a 100% essay titled how to be strong.
And to be honest?
You never needed the world.
The world needed you.
