Barbie Dreams

You think you could be me



With your bleach blonde hair



Your crimson lips



Your hooded stare



You think you could be me



I could be you



We could be thee



Maybe all three



Wearing your twiggy clothes



With an upturned nose



With a sexy glare



A high heeled dare



You think you could be me



Wear my ripped jeans



My wild curly hair



Feet that are bare 



All my tattoos



I don't want to be you



With your liposuction



Your silicone



Why buy boobs when I have my own



Is that why you wanna be me



Change me



To fit your Barbie world



Where all the men



Look and act like Ken



Just so you know



I wanna be me not you



You in your



Plastic princess



Barbie townhouse reality



So let me be



A world where no one bakes



New age flakes have it done by their spirit guides



Where you and your friends are from the same mold



Plastic girls never get old



Where you dream your plastic dreams



All sterile and clean



Keep your Barbie world and all your plastic dreams



I wanna keep my world where my music sounds like primal screams



Where it's dramatized,glamourized,even heavy metalized



Where the color of the rainbows drown me in their swirl



Go ahead girl



Keep your Barbie dreams



I like being me

Right on, Michelle. Stay true to yourself and leave the Barbie doll world to those who prefer to live in plastic skin. I like your style! Carolyn
