Role Model


All I see are lies

Contoured cheeks with blush

It's such a Big Disguise

The way her flaws are under hush...

 

Her hair goes flat

Her boobs pushed out

What's the big display?

Her smooth face matte

 

Her lips the perfect pout

She never has a fly away

Squeezed in clothes tight

...Forgot to eat today

 

These heels will give me height

Who needs food anyway?

The more makeup the better

It hides who I Am

 

Wrote the magazine a letter

Thinking they'd give me a hand

Instead the pages laughed! in my face

making my heart fill with shame

 

They told me to lose that weight on my waist

for I'm the only one to blame

Got the contacts now

I want to look just like That Girl

 

but I'm not sure how

'cause to be that thin I'd have to hurl

i painted my face and Demolished my body

Just so I could be one of those Superficial Hotties

 

But here i am again

Staring in the mirror

as it SCREAMS. revolting, revealing my greatest error

All i see are Lies
