superficial

why do you want
to lead
such a superficial life?
the bitches
laughing
giggling
flirting
suddenly make you sick
a boy
on each arm
of those bitches
those peroxide blondes
with sea blue eyes
and figures
that hourglasses would envy
bitches
        maybe it’s because
        they have something
        you don’t
