beauty queen

so, if she looks like a Barbie

like she’s happy to be starving

in smaller dresses for each party

then I guess you’ll want her

 

and if she looks like a painting

so you stop and stare to daydream

while she stops herself from fainting

then I guess you’ll love her

 

if she could be in a movie

with her body and her beauty

keeping track of each calorie

then I guess you’ll need her

 

you say, “she looks like a Barbie

it’s natural, she’s not starving

she’s the life of every party”

but I know you’ll lose her

 

you’re so entranced by her allures

brushing off all my concerns

it’s her health or her slight figure

if only you’d choose her
