beauty queen

ode to the beauty queen: she's misery in disguise
a display behind the glass of a trophy case
she shows off her success like a prize

she looks down from her pedestal with no warmth in her eyes
glorified yet alone like the portrait atop the fireplace
ode to the beauty queen: she's misery in disguise

she rarely eats because "she's too fat" then she'll exercise
so she can parade down that catwalk with confident grace
she shows off her success like a prize

the winner of princess crowns, to all's surpise
has a cheering section that echo the emptiness of space
ode to the beauty queen: she's misery in disguise

she's too good for everyone. she won't socialize
but loves to harvest the eyes off every boy's face
she shows off her success like a prize

having no time for love, she'll soon realize
she wasted her beauty like a flowerless vase
she shows off her success like a prize
