Are you suicidal?
An attention seeker?
What is wrong with you?
I didn't raise you to be like
This.
Why can't you be like the other
Kids?
Smile little one, it will get better..
One day, I think?
Laugh through the pain little momma
It'll go away...
Maybe?
Stop leaving your heart on your sleeves
Lock it away to never see the light of day.
Yea people love a mystery,
Not a sweet little girl stuck in glitter world.
Throw your barbie dolls, don't just
Cuddle.
Fuck Disney! Get into hbo for Christ sake
You're ten!
No, little baby stay true to yourself,
Don't force it to fit in.
Change your hair, lift your skirt,
Talk to boys, Dont be a hoe!
Get those grades,
Nope you're too stupid to pass the fifth
Grade!
Stay in the house! Why are you always on the coach?
You read too much!
You're not learning quite enough
Please little mommas stay true to yourself.
Tune them all out be one within.
Why is it so loud?
Why are all these voices shouting at once?
Cover your ears, shut your eyes
hold your blue monkey until it all vanquishes.
Breath little momma, breath.
No, Dont take his hand!
That's insecurity's best friend!
Oh, fuck you let doubt in...
