A Woman's Pain

a woman's pain is to hate each other
a woman's pain is to look in the tabloids
"she's skinny, but she has no brains"
"she's pretty, but no way will she get out of THIS scandal"
"oh god, what is she on the cover for this time"

Brittany
        Lindsay
               Paris
                    Mary-Kate and Ashley

bombshell blondes who will take off their top for the right price
disgusting
i say, knowing i would do the same
shameful, that will never happen to me
i say, praying every night that it will
