you're a modern day snow white but without the
purity, grace, & perfection; you dye your hair
platinum blonde & let faux pearls caress your

skin (you still think you're glamorous) but
i can't bring myself to disagree & my mouth
spits cubic zirconia, even though it's fake

it's still beautiful - paint your lips red
& kiss the mirror, make an impression
upon the world with your imitation coco

chanal no. 5 perfume--show the world that
a modern day snow white isn't immaculate;
you smile with peroxide on your teeth

as you wait for ivory enamel & even though
you claim to not care, you still (secretly)
strive to be a classical snow white enchantress
