Inner Makings of me

Walking down the street making sure these poor boys eyes bleed

My hips in the right place making myself irresistible to chase

Do you see the flawlessness is the way I strut?

Beauty from head to toe but nobody realizing the hours it took to gain this look

Bringing my self esteem to its all time low

 

Pressure to the point of insanity

Forgetting the inner workings of me

 

You have to open your eyes to realized that u are not seeing my real eyes

No I’m not talking about these big brown things on my face

But the inner working of my soul the place i hide so I can feel safe

Do you know the steps I had to take to feel accepted in the world?

Thinking I had to be this hot body woman with makeup and mini skirts

Forgetting that I’m still this tiny little girl little girl

 

PRESSURED to the point of INSANITY

Forgetting about the inner workings of me

I tried so hard to get the best

Realizing that I’m settling for less

 

So I try a little harder losing who is really me

PIECE BY PIECE STRIPPING ME OF MY INTEGRITY

Walking in a place with young girls saying age before beauty

Looking down at my hand realizing I’ve spent my life worrying about what people could see

 

Looking in to the mirror seeing that it’s over and I’m almost done

I’ve spent my life DARKEND IN THE SHADOW with NO FUN

Pressured to the point of INSANITY

Forgetting about the inner workings of me

 

So I take the little bit of life that is left of me

And I pass the word on to the little girls who have not yet opened their eyes and SEEN

This world and life that can TRICKK THEM

FORCING them making them think make up and miniskirts can fix them

 

So I tell u this the world is something u DO NOTwant to miss

So open your eye and realize the INNER WORKINGS OF YOUR SELF

Then maybe you can break out of this pretty little world

Made up but is nothing but MAKE UP OVER HELL....
