Pretty Girl in a shitty car <br />Headliner hanging <br />Tailpipe dragging <br /> <br />Beauty Queen of broken dreams <br />Had the world on string <br /> <br />Or so it seemed <br /> <br />Growing up pretty <br />Doesn’t create pity <br />It creates a single road <br /> <br />No one informed you <br /> <br />That a good life is earned <br />Not owed <br /> <br />Needed to be a Mrs <br />Afraid to be missed <br /> <br />You gave your only quality <br />Didn’t think you had a mind to share <br />But your pretty self alone <br />Couldn’t keep “him” there. <br /> <br />Made babies born with a Job <br />Mixing “him” and Pretty you <br />Instead of fulfilling your purpose <br />The babies became discarded trash too. <br /> <br />Pretty Girl now a waitress <br />Cleaning up other peoples messes <br />Cant clean up your own <br /> <br />Feet hurt <br />Ass hanging out of a small skirt <br />Get in your shitty car <br />Hoping it will start <br />Hoping you still have a home<br /><br />Wanda Swim Strunk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pretty-girl-in-a-shitty-car/
