Dream

30. Pretty

Break your ankles walking in heels
Deathtraps for shoes, toes blistering
As you walk to the store
Looking for some bleach to swallow
To have that perfect smile
Show your little girl beauty
Teach her how to be liked
Collagen injected lips are a masterpiece
Shut you mouth and don't you dare cry
This is how to be pretty
Turn you hair white
Shake your head upside down till its empty
Pull out some dye,
You're gorgeous now blondie
Those bags under your eyes,
They don't belong in this world of beauty
Your dark circles will just have to hide
Polish your face till it's shining
Put your pale flesh in a deep fry
Just keep bronzing
Ignore the fact that your skin is on fire
Look, a cake, who's having a wedding?
We can't have the groom look worse than the bride
He's a little chubby
That's not alright,
He needs an ample starving
Maybe then he'll turn out fine
No man is good without a perfect beach body
Paste on a smile
Maybe she'll like you if you fake happy
Come and meet your future wife
See what's been done for her to look pretty
Don't you just adore those lines,
It's all we could do for brows, someone went a bit harsh with the plucking
She's so glamorous in that corset wire
No one will notice that she's suffocating
But that's not important, as long as her appearance is a delight,
Then everyone is happy
You've done so much to look nice,
But wait! You still need more beautifying!
We aren't done yet, not quite
Beat you like the batter of a cake, but never stop mixing
Grab some tape, make yourself keep smiling,
Even though it's fake
Get some surgery, there's nothing it can't recreate
Cut, and don't forget to keep pasting
Maybe then one day,
They'll love you when you're pretty
Keep sticking pins in your face
Cut off your flesh and hide the bleeding
That's how you make,
The perfect body
Even if it's fake,
It doesn't matter because now you're stunning
Some drown in tears, but collagen is what fills your suicide lake
Tie on some stilts and kill yourself walking
This what it takes,
To be ravishing
This is how to make,
Yourself good looking
It doesn't matter if there's pain,
In beauty,
Because it's all about being,
Pretty.
