Little Miss Perfect

Little Miss Perfect I. Blue eyes, blond hair, fair skin The American Dream Blue eyes, blond hair, fair skin The Aryan dream What are we teaching our children? What set of morals are being discusses? Around the dinner table II. Daughter you must go hungry Nobody likes the fat girl Stand there and watch While I suck the last drops of greasy fried chicken From my bloated finger tips Tomorrow is judgment day They’re all going to love you You’re so perfect with… Your blue eyes, blond hair, and fair skin. III. Mother I am hungry But not for the attention you crave Do I make you feel more beautiful When you look in the mirror do you see me Then why can’t you see what I really want I want my own moment to shine, to be loved For Being me Not being loved simply for… My blue eyes, blond hair, and fair skin. IV. Daughter your opinion does not matter When you get older you will understand You’ll never be loved if you’re not beautiful Keep practicing that dance routine You’ll see the importance of that skill When the men are paying you handsomely To show them just how beautiful you are They’ll see more than just… Your blue eyes, blond hair, and fair skin. V. Mother, you repulse me You want me to be your Barbie doll You insist I parade myself smiling through the humiliation Only to be judged by those who mean nothing You want me to dance Watch me dance this dance of disdain I am going to break free and be me I renounce the celebration of… My blue eyes, blond hair, and fair skin.
