"Plain Jane"
As I watch myself fade away
Fade away into those days
that I had no reason to wake up.
Those trudging steps to the bathroom.
As I go to wash my face
I can not help to wonder why.
No one will see me today
or tomorrow or the next day.
No one will notice me.
I am just a plain Jane.
Nothing more.
It's all I could ever be.
While those girls walk down the street
in a mini skirt thats less than a size three.
Their asses hanging out the back
as their bras stuffed with tissues
that patted at their mascara.
No!
That will never be me.
I would never
suck some guys d**k
after applying cheap lipstick.
No!
I would not bring myself
to that level of glam an popularity
Popularity?
That's a death sentence right there.
I don't need that.
I don't need a title as one of those cheap tramps.
No!
That will never be me
All to skinny frame
the lunch you just ate is what to blame.
So girl,let's puke that back up.
Cause we all know that dreaded size three,
Will not make you queen of popularity.
No!
That will never be me.
The girl that walks and sways her hips from side to side.
Making the boys eyes go wide.
Now she's behind the bleachers after school.
Cause we all know thats so cool.
No,that could never be me.
So as I look up in the mirror
my fingers tracing my face.
I smile to myself.
I am simple.
I am beautiful.
I am a plain Jane.
That's all I need to be.
I am me.
