Dark Side

"Everybody's got a dark side Do you love me? Can you love mine? Nobody's a picture perfect But we're worth it You know that we're worth it Will you love me? Even with my dark side?"

Look into the flesh, beyond the skin, beyond those plush lips,

see what's really inside. Accept me for me because I'm not

changing. Don't try and morph me into your dollhouse.

I'm not one to be dressed up or altered or played games

with. Let my dark side shine, let me be me. 

I'm not always going to fall in love with the Ken doll 

or love the purple Jeep or the dream house. I don't 

like pink lipstick, I like a deep crimson red. My hair 

won't be perfect, won't be styled exactly straight, 

it will always have its wave. I'm not just going to walk 

around shopping or keeping my lips sealed. I'll talk 

politics, I'll layer on the eyeliner, I'll pull on my black 

Converse and dress like a hobo in yoga pants and cami. 

I'm not always going to model perfect or wear stiletto heels.  

I won't ever dye my hair blonde or act like a bimbo.

No, this girl means business, success and ambition.

Take it or leave it. Embrace my dark side

or leave me be. Life's too short 

for you to change me.
