Just stop!
Slash the lipstick across my lips...
pink blooming blush across my cheeks
if I wear it you say I'm hiding
If I don't then I'm lazy
I could be skinny
I could be fat
really I'm in between
torn between your tiny
and you need to lose a little meat
The higher the hair
the closer to god
but straighten all your curls
they told me that piercings weren't
for pretty girls
speak softly Damnit
ladies don't shout
oh the truth is all these expectations
turn me inside out
we went from she's fat
to tell them skinny bitches that
we shame one another about gender, color, weight
and sexuality
