American Girl

I'm an American Girl. I believed in stories with a Disney ending. Picket fence dreams and picked pocket realities. Golden opportunities, silver linings turned gray. Live to fight another day, try to find another way. Don't think too much, or have too much to say. I'm just the little blonde with sticky popsicle hands and pink corduroy pants Riding a bike with a banana seat. We all had big plans, big dreams with no means. Always apologize, even when you know you're right, and always be sweet. Fill a man's mouth With the cookies you baked, and fill his shoes too, with your little girl feet. Don't forget... to give everything away, and of everything, always be a little afraid. Don't ask, and don't tell. When he smiles, believe in all the lies that he sells. Don't ever ask for anything for yourself. Be strong, but always appear just a little weak. Pretend away your fears, Wipe away the tears. Flash your best Barbie doll smile, and turn the other cheek.
