Like snow flakes from heaven we did fall.
She is born to resemble only her self.
She has always had her own unique beauty.
And that is exactly what they want to change.
They start working on her from the time she is small,
Be pretty and smile or no one will like you at all.
Some unseen society has determined
How we as woman should prefer to look.
Encouraging us to change and be like the rest
Brain washed into disgrace constantly painting your face.
As fake nails claw through color died hair,
Until they get under your skin putting implants in there.
Who's doing this is it just men or are women trading it in.
Without words to encourage her that she is
Perfect and beautiful just as she is.
The scissors of our society are snipping away
Bits of her each day until all that's left to unfold is
A paper doll girl.
