Her life was magazines and faithful TV screens selling an empty dream of cars and calories and everything in between the sun and Saturn's ring, but the price tag can't be seen and it took bites out of her insides till she was just a hollow shell. She grew up in east LA watching celebrities living out all her dreams. The plastic canopy of U.S. royalty drew her gaze towards the sky and away from her own mind. And at her home her mother cried cause daddy had something on the side and they didn't look up when she sighed. And when August came around, the bathing suits were on the ground replaced by a cotton cloak. To see her own reflection was like squinting in the sun. And when all tomorrow brings is a set of broken wings it takes bites out of your insides till you are just a hollow shell.
