Bracelet

Pretty little bracelet is all I’ll ever be

Pretty shiny bracelet is all they see

No one ever bothers to get to know me

No one will ever love me for what the eyes can’t see

You don’t want me for me

You want me only for what the eye can see

You’re not interested in who I really am

All you want is what a pretty little blond portrays and attracts: pure glitz and glam

Whispering sweet nothings in my ear, promising the world

But I’m no fool, I know I am someone no one ever wants to keep and hold

All the lies and sugar coated words I have been told

Beware! I know the truth! Behold!

You don’t want me for me

You want me only for what the eye can see

You’re not interested in who I really am

All you want is what a pretty little blond portrays and attracts: pure glitz and glam

All ‘they’ ever really want is just a pretty little bracelet I bet

That shimmers and reflects other’s envy onto where their very own perfect ego and image is kept

This is the truth, this is society, and ‘they’ will do and say anything to look superior, like pure golden net

Stylish clothes and a fancy car, what better way to seal the look with a pretty little bracelet on your arm as a pet?

You don’t want me for me

You want me only for what the eye can see

You’re not interested in who I really am

All you want is what a pretty little blond portrays and attracts: pure glitz and glam

But, what if ‘they’ cannot see

Would ‘They’ be able to love me for me?

Or do they too fall victim to their friends’ envy that can see the pretty little bracelet with

 Thee

This is life; this is what I will always be….. But, it is not me
