Price of Beauty

It takes her a minute or five to be a able to fit into a specific pants size 
Hours spent popping pimples 
Extra cash spent to iron out all the wrinkles 
She feels old 
Old in her young skin, she feels like a broken cord 
She’s crooked in her mold 
Men with 20/20 vision call her pretty
Men who seem to know what real beauty is call her beautiful 
She’s a glass half full 
She’s almost at the brink of perfection but quite able to convince her mind on her selection 
Indecisive mind 
One of a kind 
Traits of a pretty girl 
Bulimic, cutter, normally frail 
Trying to keep up with the standards of this world 
Popping pills, always on a bottle, suicide an option when all else fails 
Seeking an expensive lifestyle, never pushing to be great 
Comfortable with a slightly above comfortable state 
Having a rich man, with a nice car, good job, pays the bills, pays for the hair, only asks for one thing
Selling her pride for a few nights in between the sheets and waking up sore, regular is such a bore 
She gets the things of the world but pays with her body 
Behind closed doors, let's play mummy and daddy 
When she gets home, draws the curtains, mirror mirror on the wall “I have everything, why then do I feel so alone?" 
"Life's a party, let's all get stoned!" 
Watching life pass her by, missing out on its simplicity 
Mind wars, never relived 
Losing her reputation, her dignity 
Uncomfortable in her skin, losing sleep 
Heavy laden, always packing underneath her eyes 
Tongue twisted, always tells lies 
Road trip down memory lane, guilt tripped down to her knees 
Listened to a couple of lectures but none of them are actually received 
Knowing right from wrong but wishing there was something in between 
All too familiar with the middle 
A trail of men all tattooed with wealth follow her like a fleet 
She wants out but giving up the cars, the money, the perfect life is not on her agenda 
The vacations, sweet spots marked on her calendar 
5 star hotels, rooms scented with lavender
It’s all too fun to give it all up 
5 decade old wines, rarely drinks pop 
Traded in her dignity, for her virginity 
Seems Impossible to take back what she's already lost 
Her real friends, her family and all the people that matter the most 
Her shadow has left her, her errors haunt her like a ghost 
Her life depicts all the things a girl should never do
She got herself in this mess and now it’s hard to leave
Thinking of the price she’s had to pay for that expensive weave
You would not believe
She’s reached the end of the road
A couple of bad seeds she’s sowed
Party every weekend, yolo!

Awakening moment, her life is borrowed
