What a pretty girl

What a pretty girl
they say
they lie
what a pretty smile
they coo
there flattery is fake
what a smart girl
they praisethey try to hide their uncaring tone
what do I care if I'm pretty?
I shouldn't
i should see through their words
to their monsters inside
it's their words that drive me
to look like barbie
to practice smiling in the mirror
to learn how to walk correctly
eat properly
all this
to hear those liars say
"what a pretty girl"
