She walks with envy <br />Thinking everyone has more than she does <br />So she lies and steals <br />Manipulates situations to her advantage <br />She doesnt understand <br />That she could truly have it all <br />If she would just be truthful <br />With herself <br />About others <br />She takes pieces of other women <br />That she thinks is sexy <br />And imitates them <br />Burying herself <br />Under other women's mannerisms and jokes <br />Thats how a fat girl <br />Who doesnt have a date to the prom <br />Becomes prom queen <br />She takes a grain of truth and wraps it in a lie <br />Sends it around the world <br />On poison tongue sails <br />And ill wind <br />She sells off her integrity <br />And wonders why <br />No one stays in her life but for moments <br />Everything feels unreal <br />She is betrayed by people <br />Live by the gun <br />Die by the gun<br /><br />Wanda Swim Strunk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-tarnished-princess/
