Pretty Girl


Prettydumbgirl

Watch her twirl

Sweet as a rose

Perfect little nose

Shes a slut, whore, insecure

What do we do this for?

She was wrapped in beautiful packaging 

What does that mean? 

A bow was placed on top of her

She was made for boys to see

To want

To take

She comes with a money back guarantee 

She plays stupid, shuts her mouth

On the inside she seeths wondering if

someone can see her

For more than her face

For her waist

For her shut-up stand-up play-dumb facade

Each night she prays to God

Wondering if she will ever be
