ABC Girl
by Rebecca LinTake away the smile,
the jewelry and the lace.
Take away your smart remarks,
the makeup on your face.
Eliminate all her compliments,
erase all her friends.
Destroy the inside jokes,
believe that she's pretend.
You say you're just an
average teenager,
expecting to still sound great,
but dear you really are
like all the rest...
there is no mistake.
Your riven lips,
your hair shredded and grey....
This is you, blind-folded,
every fucking day.
Your reassurance is gone,
but be reassured now:
If I take away your beauty,
you're nothing but a
rancid clown. 02/11/2006 Posted on 02/12/2006
