Bad Advice to a Girl With Good Intentions
Work harder.
Work until your skin burns with sweat
That'll be sure to make it thicker
Be quicker.
Nothing says disappointment
Like someone who's too slow
Please grow.
Be tall so that maybe
A boy might call you back
You lack so much.
You slack off so much
That your future's looking black
Maybe the absence of color
Comes from your lack of lovers
Or the stutter
That you get when you're sad
Never cry.
Your tears display weakness on your cheek
Leaking like your unique quality of
Immorality
Why do you lie?
Paint the sky
Blue again until the paint's overused
Until your hands are permanently bruised
From holding the brush for too long
You're doing it wrong.
