Slut

Isn’t she such a pretty girl

Tan skin, tight waist, and long hair that twirls.

Eyes are gorgeous chocolate brown 

A lovely new woman 

Chest now hanging down. 

Years she lived a life so free 

Jumping and skipping in a playground with glee. 

One drop of blood skimming down her leg

She is a woman and the girl is dead. 

Suddenly tummies that show in the sun 

Don’t spread laughter, don’t spread fun.

Instead she is seen as quite the tease 

And don’t you dare wear skirts above the knees.

Summer once fun is now just a show

A tank top with thin straps 

Sends chills down your back as every old man looks you up and down.

What happened to life? 

What happened to me?

Why are there warnings for my body changing?

Life was so simple 

Life was so fun

Now I spend hours making sure I’m not shunned.

Media says to always have fun

Don’t conform 

Don’t run.

Every new trend shows a little more skin

And I can’t help but want to join in.

But the second you leave that houses door

You suddenly feel so insecure.

Everyone’s staring

Everyones judging

And you know exactly what they’re saying.

In their minds

In their eyes

You read it so clear

Suddenly wishing to disappear.

Arms wrapped tightly across your chest 

Your hands reach your jackets edge 

Pull it closer 

Zip it up

Cause everyone knows 

You’re such a slut.
