You Never Know What Your Jealous Of

i watch her put her make up on
as if it hides the fake
i watch her lay in that bed
tanning her skin human bake
i watch her smile in their face
as she stabs them in the back
taking everything for herself
feeding on what they lack
i watch her make them cry
as she dominates the school
i watch her walk home
in clothes so cool
i watch him hit her to the floor
behind closed doors
i watch her beg for help
as he only hears "more"
i watch her lay back in bed
as the bruises set in
she wakes up in the morning
and lets the judging begin.
