fake pageants

as she steps out of the limo
her high heel strikes the puddle
elegant red dress glistens tonight
hair in perfect form, princess

makeup three layers thick
pageant to place first is the hope
a heart so shy to feel suppressed
yet stands with a smile ear to ear

lets rewind to the beginning
a long road to obtain what’s grasped
clinched in hands weaved with practice
not to let go, it has cost everything

beginnings, lets observe
self worth at a low
cant keep what’s down for the sake of Barbie
waiting for her Ken to come at whatever cost

mirror bought at a carnival
in her mind distorts the picture present
mirror, mirror on the wall tells lies without words
she can’t see the beauty hidden by lies

just to hear Ken tell you how special
live illful to please him, a special man
he whispers passion, you hears lies
no one will win till you lose

give it away let beauty enter in
take what is given on the outside
make it perfect on the inside
a heart, a mind of acceptance

see what we see
a molded beauty
don’t go too far
till it’s too late

don’t go under the knife
fake is not beauty
anyone can mold clay
only some can mold oneself

you are beautiful beyond words
what can I give
what can I tell
till you believe?

fake pageant
beauty skin deep
real acceptance
beauty a hearts depth
