Beautiful Girl

this pain isn't for you.

By Ivy RozenPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Beautiful girl with the long raven hair

With the perfect smile so straight and white

Beautiful girl traveling here and there

It’s not on your dime, so hop the next flight

Beautiful girl with an innocent glow

No need to know what is right

Oh, but beautiful girl, do you know?

Can you see from another’s sights?

Beautiful girl, do you even care

That their friends are dying or that they’re

Crying all day and all night?

Beautiful girl, do you know what’s right?

Your family steals their house

To put fine foods in your mouth

For you purge yourself in front of them

To look so thin, to do it again

Beautiful girl, so pure of heart

No pain in your eyes, no thoughts in your head

Beautiful girl, ignorance is your art

Nowhere left to hide from your hands so red

Beautiful girl with the beautiful soul

Such pain in the world you were never told

Beautiful girl, don’t worry yourself

This pain isn’t for you, just everyone else
