Bad Selfie Day
Who's that in the mirror?
With three candles lit beside her
Making children scream in terror
Perhaps adults know better
However, no one knows but her
The lady covered in red
The lady's eyes filled with dread
The lady's hair looking like she came out bed
Why is everyone scared of Mary?
No, her name is tainted with blood
Bloody Mary,Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
Maybe its the name?
Or that hers looks are gruesome?
Yet, no one knows why she looks in despair
If only people realized
Just waiting a second longer
Not running out the bathroom
Screaming at the top of their lungs
The vision many see
Does not tell the truth
Perhaps staying a little longer
To see that the myth has it all wrong
People see Mary in the 21st century, not an earlier century
Mary is not covered in blood
She forgot to take off last night's makeup
Her hair was not burshed yet
She looks in despair only towards herself
With a sad realization
It was bad day to take a selflie
