I've tried so hard to be the best little girl in the world, tried so hard but I've fallen too far down to be fixed.

You

Sitting there

Briskly whisking

Shades of red venom

On your artificial nails

Bold and brassy

Unlike the toxic ice

That pumps through my veins

I have followed the rules

I have mimicked your infatuation

For slavery to the standards

I have tried my best

With intentions of success

But now I am the one to blame

For doing what Mother Says Is Best

You

Sitting there

Painting your nails

And Ichoke behind self-conjured bars.
