Picture Perfect
Rap song- Poetry project: CW#2
Rough Draft #4

I'm watching this girl,
She's looking at herself in the mirror;
Screamin' aloud, knowing that no one can hear her
All her friends say she's thin, thinks she looks,
Looks so fat in those pictures

Wants to be perfect,
Make everyone's eyes start poppin'
Eyes heavy with tears, their droppin'
Staring back at her image,
She picks up the scissors to start choppin'

Images n’
Memories,
They're twistin' in her headache-strained head
And they just won’t,
Just ain't stoppin'

Chorus:

No worries,
Don't hurry,
This life's not done
Think you're fighting a battle that can't be won?
No worries,
Don't hurry,
I know the stress;
Hold on tight 'cause it's not over yet

Flipping this way, turnin' that way
Hoping every time she looks something's changed,
Something's better
Thinking no one gets her,
How could they let her
Go out in the world without looking better?

Shaky hand with the scissors, cutting off pieces
Hoping with each "snip" the subconscious vanity ceases
Holding her breath so her own scream eases
Wondering "will her new looks stop the teasing
Good looks, hey, is that what pleases?"

Chorus:

No worries,
Don't hurry;
This life's not done,
Thinking you're fighting a battle that can't be won?
No worries,
Don't hurry;
I know the stress,
Hold on tight 'cause it's not over yet

This girl,
She's still looking in that mirror,
Opens her mouth but nothing comes out,
So no one will ever hear her
All of her friends still sayin' she's thin,
Doesn't care what the hell they think

Now she's looking in a magazine,
Desperation sets in and she's drownin’,
Doesn't care how stupid this is soundin'
Since she can't be like "them"
Figurin' it's over,
She's givin' in, she's done in
This girl's mind's made up,
She's decided it's time for her own tragic end
