Plastic

Your concept of beauty is plastic–harmful to your nature.

The lips you kiss are rounder, each curve is manufactured.

Her hair isn’t sun-damaged, chemicals make her beautiful.

Cover-up becomes foundation

Waxing becomes tattoo art.

Contacts become colored.

Her giggles are practiced, playing back like a robot.

It’s as if all that makeup is cover(ing) (the) girl.

It’s as if you’re kissing a doll and making love to a mannequin.


Platic Thoughts, Paper Dots

Why the hell am I giving up?

Darkness lurks in the sky.

The moon is still hanging high.

Your presence lingers within me.

Suddenly it became hard to breathe.

Reality is blurred, so she learns.

Her screams are only heard from her.

Living in Black & White, sleeping in fluorescent light.

Broken to most, unfixable to all.

Wandering child, come back for awhile.

Release your tears that you’ve had for years

Don’t cry at every goodbye.

Darkness lurks in the sky.

The moon is still hanging high.


City of Angels

Lines of powder line the desk

Dollars rolled up in the drawer

Gucci belt hanging by the door

Porsche parked in the back

Drink up, but don’t black out

Snort some, but don’t OD

Fit in, but don’t overdo it

Fake a smile until it’s real

Gracefully glide in 5 in heels

The movie stars, NBA players, Directors, artists and more

The life

The life I used to despise, I’m finally apart of it.

I light up my cigarette soaking in each midnight to each noon

Alive for it all.

Drink up
