She is 17 and her mother is screaming at her
For she is not as graceful as her friends
Or as thin as her cousins.
She is not groomed to perfection
She is 17 and class valedictorian shines by her name
For the fifth time in a row
Yet her mother screams at her
For she is not groomed to perfection
She is 17 and her mother continues yelling
For she does not know how to cook food
Or make her hair every day
Or rest assured, have hairless arms and legs
Sadly, She is not groomed to perfection
She is 17 and she was just accepted into a prestigious internship
For she has to go to grooming school
As she was not groomed to perfection
And there she will learn how to make food
There she will try to lose weight to look pretty
There she will doll up in every way
There she will be groomed to perfection
There she will lose, her passion for success
There she will worry about her weight and not her grades
There she will forget her passion of one day becoming an author
There she will look towards cooking, waxing and dressing up.
There she will be groomed to perfection.
