Through the Eyes of a Beautiful Girl


13 and too fat 14 and not pretty enough 15 and still a virgin And that beautiful little girl is sitting in the bathroom just to puke up all the imperfections that she has been forced to swallow and no one seems to care. 16 and she's failing her classes 17 and carrying a baby on her arm 18 and working a corner And in an hour she'll shoot up all her worries with a needle she found on the street so she does not have to remember what she has done. 19 and she's addicted 20 and abortion was her only option 21 and staring down the barrel of a gun And that beautiful little girl has been crushed by a media of a flawless faces telling her she' too fat, not pretty enough, and no one wants her.
