Maintaining that faux image.
Live up to society's expectations.
Have *** and be ******
*Don't have *** but act like you do*.
The boys set the bar,
We want to reach it.
We wear make-up because it will
Make us pretty.
We dress **** because it will
Make us hot.
We want to have *** because it will
Make us normal.
Does pop culture have the right to
Tell us what's normal?
If we do not measure up, then
We will put on a show if we have to.
We hope we look approachable so
Then boys will talk to us.
But we have to say no and stay pure so
Then boys will want us.
We are supposed to understand the
Mixed signals and popular beliefs.
We must ignore our morals, yet claim they
Are what we live by.
Pornorgraphy, 'Girls Gone Wild', and risque magazines all tell us that
Guys want us to be a certain way.
We are supposed to turn ourselves into
What they want,
And accept that that
Is all that matters.
