need help
they say
baby's in trouble
they say
baby needs a shovel
baby needs a backhoe
baby needs a drill
but baby's a girl,
so what baby really needs
is a man
to do the work
how about no
Am I beautiful enough?
For the wicked and the ******
To live without care
To meet expectations force-fed unto me

Am I beautiful enough?
To walk the hall and make jaws drop
To tempt Adam and live in Eden
To bring the Archangel to his knees

Am I beautiful enough?
To be in magazine spreads
To see my body in Times Square
To make all women turn green

Am I beautiful enough?
So intelligence does not matter
To be in the eye of the beholder
To be loved
*To be free
This poem is still a work in progress. The original was accidentally erased, so I quickly came up with an alternative...one I'm not yet fully satisfied with. (I might even change the title. In fact, I already have something in mind)

EDIT: I changed the title. It originally was "Am I Beautiful Enough?"
We cant go on pretending
pretending that we're mending
mending is depending
depending on who it's offending
offending the unbending
unbending minds are sending
sending us toward a bad ending
ending up contending
contending with intending
intending on attending
attending to defending
defending us from descending
We're falling in love in reverse.
The boy in the tree, he was so nice,
That his fiery stare was cold as ice.
Drop that ice into my lemonade
And you'll taste the drink that Satan made.
And when Satan rears his ugly head,
You'll hear the last prayers of the dead.
And when the dead all start to rise,
You'll see the fire behind their eyes.
And when the fires refuse to burn,
You'll feel them urging, "It's your turn."
And when you finally take the stand,
You'll smell the fear throughout the land.
And when the land begins to shake,
You'll think you're falling in a lake.
And when the lake begins to part,
You'll know you've been dead from the start.
