I'm sorry we all blame the victim
Around here you looked so appealing
Designed with destruction in mind
oblivious to your inner struggle
Just like everyone
But being like everybody
is like being nobody
and your body
is no body
It's a shell
a prison of plastic and made up beauty
Sealed away
You suppressed your inner Goddess
A martyr
for the material world
missing out on truth
Just a submissive sacrifice
You believed what they promised.

This was inspired by an exhibit I saw at the Art Institute of Chicago in Spring of 2012. It was called "Fashioning the Object" it was a very disenchanting display of how women in the fashion industry are treated. I also sampled a line from a Twilight Zone episode ;)
