Poetry: Rage

by Jessica Lynn Lovelace

Created on: May 17, 2009

Stupid Dress

Cinderella, Cinderella

don't be jealous

your sister's snotty

dress is hideous

All puff, no pizzazz

All style, no taste

(All corset, no breath)

All ugly, all ugly

Godey, Godey

mold our dresses

Not our bodies

No more

giant purple marshmallows

No more

walking blobs of color

No more

hoops of hell

No more

lace, anyplace

Black Dress, Black Dress

you are death

advertised in the mirror

as the best of the best of the best of the best

bribing with a

shower of beads to appeal

Appeal? Appeal?

Pretty shiny things

Only appeal to those who breathe
