Everybody knows life is easy for a pretty girl with white skin. Everybody knows life is easy for a pretty girl with white skin Coated to the brim With makeup because she just can't find the right mask That will allow her face to collapse So her "friends" won't ever ask "Are you okay?" Because she's not. And she. is. HOT. But she's been bothered By the hands of her father Who swore to protect her But then disappeared and Let her get taken to her knees begging Please... please... please put the knife away, baby. I swear I'll stay. You're hurting me! What did I say? No. She said no when he told her to strip Because the thought made her sick And he answered with a hit to her pretty white face. *****! Learn your place.
Nobody knows what to do with a girl with bruises on her pretty white skin. Nobody knows what to do with a girl with bruises on her pretty white skin. Cuts on her lips that crack and bleed when she grins. No makeup, No hiding, No faking, She's done fighting. No more friends so she's dying. She writes her will but she's crying So the paper is bent like her back to the sharp wind that whips her into submission. Is this the world's mission?! SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE **** UP!! She could just step in front of that truck. Let them win. Don't let them win. Hear the strangers whisper, "Don't trust the pretty girl with white skin."
This is kinda modeled after a poem by Miles Hodges, also titled "Maskless." This is my first ever slam/spoken word style poem.
