Perfect People
I do believe I’m stuck in a box
I’m put up against all these preps, all these jocks
They can laugh, they can stare
After all, I’ve understood, that is why they are there
From the clothes to the pose to the stuck up nose
They’re all full of hate, conceit , and it grows
They’re beautiful people from afar
Happy little teens that drive nice cars
Look a little closer and her face is a disaster
Make up hairspray and perfume, she’s plastered
Enough to hide a face that could be backwards
Or fractured.
Or Shattered.
Or a public hazard.
And that’s just the start.
Wait til you get past the plastic heart.
Inside makeup caked skin lies a beast
Her soul dark enough to detour any priest
She’ll eat you alive and when she’s done with the feast
She won’t even cry, or so much as glance at the deceased
Thank God
Thank God
I don’t own a hotrod.
