Not A Barbie Doll

A little girl standing in front of a mirror

She is staring her reflection with horror

Her best friend said that she was fat and ugly

“Yes she is my best friend”, BARELY!!!

She wishes herself to be a model

Having fans and popping bottles

Verbal abuse day after day

And her parents think she is okay

She sits in the corner of her room so lonely and so sad

Even the boy she has a crush on treats her bad

She takes it upon herself to cut the fat

Accidently stabbing her veins while walking by is a black cat

Her family wonders “Why did my daughter fall”

Because she realized that she is Not A Barbie DollA little girl standing in front of a mirror

She is staring her reflection with horror

Her best friend said that she was fat and ugly

“Yes she is my best friend”, BARELY!!!

She wishes herself to be a model

Having fans and popping bottles

Verbal abuse day after day

And her parents think she is okay

She sits in the corner of her room so lonely and so sad

Even the boy she has a crush on treats her bad

She takes it upon herself to cut the fat

Accidently stabbing her veins while walking by is a black cat

Her family wonders “Why did my daughter fall”

Because she realized that she is Not A Barbie Doll
