Lilacs & daisies speak to me boldly
they taunt me, they haunt me, their words come out coldly
I smile as if my feelings arn't hurt
like I'd rather have paint all up on my shirt
than sparkley's and pretty's, things you'd usually wear
when all but emotion builds up & you care
So smiles mean nothing and they see right damn through
velvet rails, carrot sticks, and start mimicking you
Cus you're ugly-
You tell her she's fat.
It's thin that is in, so know where you're at
on the scale of desire to live in the neg
skip over the norm and move to a seg
ment of life, More or less so untrue
Falling further and further, almost a copy of you
her plain flower petals start to wither and die
no water, no energy to see eye to eye
And the daisies, they laugh; Lilacs the same
So sad she would be, I've forgotten her name
