When I Grow Up...

Little girls wish on stars
They wish for a prince
A shimmering white horse
Endless seas of jewelry
And a massive castle
"I want a Prince Charming" she says
"To sweep me off my feet"
But Daddy's little girl is whore
Her fairy tale's crushed
But she's blind to her obsessions
Her plastic love and addicting romance
Romance is dead, as is true beauty is dead
Daddy's little girl is no little girl anymore
She brings in new tricks every night
A druggie, a thug, a gigolo, a beater
He hears his daughter every morning in the bathroom
crying, but she rejects his help
And cakes on the foundation, eye liner,
and lipstick
Walks out the door to her false dreams
"Daddy, I want to be a Princess!"
Princess Hooker
Princess Washed Up
Princess Common Whore
Princess... destroyed
"Stop ruining your life!"
"You don't know me, dad!"
"Because you push me away!"
"Because you don't care -
You made me what I am!"
His disbelief in her wild dreams to be somebody
His mockery and telling her it's impossible
"All you had to do was dream with me, daddy"
The Princess....
turned Queen of the Wasted Idols
Her breasts sparkle with glitter
Her nails shimmer with blood red paint
Her hair falls down her bare back
Waiting for a man to fill the
void in her life
But her dreams are gone
And her heart is lost
Daddy's Little Whore
