Dead at nineteen

she looks in the mirror
and hates what she sees
she wants to be pretty
but thinks, thats not for me

she sees some mascara
in a cupboard all alone
she could easily take it
and her mother’s not home

she calls her bestfriend
and they go to the pub
they meet 2 great guys
who take them to the club

she drank shots all night
and had too much to drink
her visions impaired
and she really can’t think

and these really great guys
are not what they seem
she thought they were nice
but it was a dream

she looked in the mirror
and hated what she seen
she wanted to be pretty
and now she’ll never be.
