in a world full of roses

be a rose

oblige to the standards

curl your frizzy hair

wear that stupid makeup

pull on that fifty dollar shirt

and put that smile back on

because what else are you going to do?

be unique?

in this world

with these standards

with these people

trim those thorns and be as pristine as possible.

but never be too pristine

you can’t be better than the rest.

then your a slut.

you have to have an ass

but you cant be fucking fat

you have to keep up with the trends

but no, can’t be chronically online or you’re cringe.

you know what i have?

i have a cute face.

i have a button nose.

i have doe eyes.

i weigh under 100 pounds.

i have an ass.

i wear the right clothes.

i shave until im bloody.

i wear so much makeup, i become unrecognizable.

god.

but i still can’t be as good as them.

but you have to fucking be a stupid rose.

because if you aren’t, what are you?
