The Maybaline raccoon eyes stare
full of synthesized tragedy
for a life
severed from the parents
she clings to so dearly.
The black-flaked fingertips dance
without any real purpose
for entertainment
and communication within
a hand-held device.
The perfectly messy hair lays
upon a head full of thoughts
for friends, enemies, and homework
yet the ambition isn't
anywhere to be found.
She sees herself as different
but she really is the same
committing those high school crimes
That she pretends to be above.
