Beauty Queen

finally lost that body sheen.

actually let your soul out from behind the screen.

Which screen?

you know the one.

it reflects what you’re told you should want to see.

Beauty Queen.

Beauty Queen.

blinded almost immediately

by people who tell your self

how to find

the ‘me’.

The Me.

Me.

It flows. the word.

me.

‘me’ does not exist inside a context.

‘me’ is not a trophy or a conquest.

me. me. me.

‘Give it up to serve others’’

we’re told.

Is that why we have so many addicted mothers?

So many searching for

the truth

in the arms of lovers?

Beauty Queen. beauty queen.

when will you finally

believe

you’re all

you really need?
