Beauty Queen

[Dogstar]

Constant quest for perfection
Buried in a funhouse reflection
Tentacles of endless temptation
Squeeze her mind into dutiful deception

Pangs of hunger feed the smile she wears
As she withers away and slowly disappears
Protruding beauty validates the stares
A stubborn will abates her fears

She won’t let the whispers alter her stand
It’s not their place to force her hand
They don’t understand the high she craves
She prays to the god who keeps her a slave

Drink of the cup
Eat from the trough
Of the facades that hide
The dying inside

[Ann Allusion]

Drink of the cup
Eat from the trough
Of the facades that hide
The dying inside
