Do I Look Like a Princess?

By The Lipstick Factor


do i look like a princess?
do you see a fucking tiara?
stop
stop
stop
just stop your building
of ivory towers
and pedestals
your used car salesman drivel
exhausts me
hollow thank you's
emotionally bankrupt me
words
should mean something
i loathe
your
superficial experience of me

    I also hate any cunt who make judgments on first appearences alone and without a real care for much other their own personal gain...This was a great take on the theme of hollow people.

    Words should mean something, absolutely. But who are we to give them meaning when they are not our own? Who are we to deem what's meaningful, what's fake, or even what is open to interpretation? God of our own personal existance. What others see of us is only what we choose to show them. This was very thought provoking for me. Thank you (read: heartfelt or hollow? Your choice.)

    But when someone agrees with absolutely everything you say...it becomes pretty obvious they are simply trying to reflect back what they think you want to see, which renders their words...meaningless
