Painting Butterflies
Living soulless in the barricade
Following the masquerade
Hating how we were made
Believing beauty is pain
Bowing to the strain
So they don't have to be plain
Flawless as porcelin
Trying to hide who's within
Not seeing that she's a gem
Disgusted by reality
Defying originality
Defeating genuinity
Painting butterflies today
Popularity is all grey
In beauty we're embay
