Look at that girl over there. The one who is in the background, looking at the floor beneath her feet
She is beautiful
Her hair sparkles like diamonds. Her eyes glow with the sun
Her skin is as smooth as silk
The clothes she wears fit her perfectly. She has curves in all the right places
She is beautiful.
Do you know why?
Because she doesn’t stand out, nobody wants to notice her
She never speaks her mind, her opinions don’t matter
She always does as she is told, for she needs permission to speak
She doesn’t fight back, there is no point
She doesn’t eat, only when they tell her to
She cooks, cleans, and stays at home
She is submissive because she knows her fate’s sealed
She is obedient, a complete people pleaser
She is silent because her voice was stolen the moment she signed the contract
A silent beauty amongst the crowd
A lonely bird in a gilded cage
A woman who vows to break free someday
