The Girls in the Corner
The girls in the corner
 they sit so pretty
 waiting to induce
 Their robust male peers
 
 Their eyelashes blacker than death...
 Their lips redder than blood...
 Out from those lips spew the mintiest of breath...
 For their raised shoes make not but a thud
 But a 
 Click
 and a 
 Clack
 and a 
 Crunch
 and a 
 Crack
 One day
 Those feet shall be
 Twisted and distorted
 All out of shape
 
 Those girls in the corner
 They stare at me
 And what is it they see?
 All but nothing ever so pretty...
 They see no death 
 No blood
 
 Those girls
 They must think 
 That they are by far
 Much more valuable than me
 They must think that I am nothing...
 
 But if I were nothing
 Then who would be left
 for them to show off to?
 And if I were nothing
 Then who? 
 Just who?
 Would be left 
 to envy all their
 Fake manufactured beauty?
 And if I were nothing
 Then what would be the point?
 The point of-
 Being the girls in the corner...
