What beautiful eyes you have.
Look how gorgeous you are.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Oh, you’ll be a heartbreaker.
Little girl grew up surrounded by praise,
Words that kept her warm, even on rainy days.
Looking in the mirror, she saw what they did,
A beautiful girl, like you’d see in a vid.
Nothing was lacking, her face was complete,
But because of her past, she viewed it as fresh meat.
You see, their words never taught her anything at all,
So walking the streets, she smiled at the cat calls.
She always kept a few boys around for playthings,
Dispensable they were, but her smile made them feel like kings.
She knew how to play them to get what she wanted,
And her fleeting affections made them feel taunted.
But they knew a small piece was as much as they’d get,
And if they complained, she’d move on to the next pet.
In this way, the world taught her what beauty really meant:
Not what’s on the inside, but how many hearts she could dent.
The boys she collected were how she measured her worth,
But little did she realize the impact of her mirth.
She tossed aside their feelings in her pursuit to boast,
And all the while no one realized that it was she who hurt the most.
She was a slut and a cunt, a bitch and a whore,
But it was only because she had been taught to always seek more.
The day will soon come when she is old and gray,
And when the moon rises, she’ll have a price to pay.
No more will she play the field in the way she once could,
And her vicious cling to the past will be misunderstood.
She won’t know how to gauge the value of her person,
And she’ll realize she played a game she couldn’t have won.
To teach a woman that her value depends upon others,
Was not the original intent of our mothers.
But through our words and our actions that’s what we dispense,
So for a woman, this message becomes the most common of sense.
To understand our dilemma, we have to look at our roots,
And realize that women have long lived under men’s boots.
Woman was not created to live in the shadow of man,
But to shine in her own light, the yin to his yang.
