The only difference between highschoolers and preschoolers is that preschoolers get naptime.

My hair a straightened, shining shield
More and more of me revealed
Shortest skirts to lengthen thighs
Rims of black around my eyes

Unending energy I fake
For now so high they put the stakes
All this and more for a glimpse from you
What lengths cannot they drive me to?

Ugly, yes, I know so well
But I'll change so much you'll never tell
Cringe behind my flowered tops
Skinny jeans and shoes that pop

I'm bleeding beauty, I can't be saved
I'm dying to primp and pluck and shave
When did beauty become one with hell?
And how was I the one that fell?
