plastic

December 27, 2010

plastic faces
plastic lives
makes me wonder,
do they ever cry??
they laugh,
like plastic
they look perfect,
like plastic.
do they care??
or are they plastic
like a barbie
they are fake
yet we aspire to be them
plastic
fake
blank
foreign
empty
full of air
wasted space
plastic faces
plastic lies
all smiles
perfect lives
beautiful
twisted
tortured souls
yet we aspire to be them
backstabbers
the back-stabbed
yet we aspire to be them
barbies
