Modestly Attired

You say my face is plain
You say I don't have it
I can't be like movie stars
or wonderful royal-pretty thing

You say you love me
but you kinda look away

you say you love me

the words always decay

you say I wanna kiss you

and your kisses they blotch

they are bad make-up

they don't hide the scars of abuse

you dress me like a liqurice doll

so sweet like burnt candy

rolling in your mouth

so sweet like a cloud making a storm

so I pleased guilty

said I was sorry

that I'm not beautiful enough

that I'm modestly dressed

so I pleaded guilty

I begged you to stay
I may be moderately dressed

but my love is not modest

you told I can't be a drama queen

I can't be a luscious being
I can't be carved into a poster on a wall

I'm just me simple me

you told me I can't cry with an award

star on some favourite show

or drop down a passing crowd

I can only be me

Fuck you!
if I'm only me
I think I don't really need

to be some stringed doll

that is for kids

Fuck You!

if I'm only me

I think I dont really need

superficial trash like you

You're not worth it

if I'm only me
I'm glad to be me
I don't need a poster on a wall

I don't want to stand forever - I'll walk on!
