Babe, you think you hide it so well
But your pain is evident in your pout
Your desperation shines through what you call fashion
On trend but without a true friend
Luxury laced with extra lonely
You want to be influential
The ‘it’ girl
But you’re so separated
From your own soul
When did that mask start defining who you are
When did you lose yourself in that facade
Topped with caviar
Gucci gotchu
So does the devil in Dior
Always following you
Or was it Prada
That became your Heavenly Father
What’s life like
With a side kick as a handbag
A brand bag that costs so much
It could give the kid who handmade it
A life line
You put the vapid in vogue
Big dreams of a bigger closet
Bigger wallet
You bought your fancy friends
Is that what you call influence
Forget about the charities on your statement
What about the impact of your generation
You’re designing an insipid future
Of self absorbed interest
Topped with hedonism and disrespect
You’re the face of our superficial culture
A sweet girl lost to the online vultures
The algorithm of expert rhythm
A feed that feeds on you
A digital age that ages you
So much information
Not an ounce of wisdom
Daily quotes
But none of them you wrote
When last did you pick up a pen
And reflect on what it means to be women
Or have they convinced you it’s not important
Because a uterus can just be imported
Gender neutrality, trans, and abnormality
Insanity
An absolute tragedy
Instagram girl
Don’t forget who you are in this world
