Fashion Victim 101 Poem by Jade Leven

she said, 'Thank you for this opportunity, I think this will be good for me, '
and she left them to comment and stare
'Hey sweetie, you've been looking thin, '
'Don't call me sweetie, and I know I have been, '
'Hey honey, you don't look so good, '
'Can't think of any reason why I should, '

well it seems to me that she is going downhill
but she keeps insisting, 'I'm not ill, I'm not ill! '
so come on, come on, this is the rest of our lives
'and there's no danger, ' she says,
'we're just drumming on the table with knives, '

she said, 'Oh, oh, you know I'm never rational...
oh, oh, but I'm always fashionable, '
it's addicting and I'm stuck in it
so let's just live for it, let's just soak in it

well it seems to me that she is going downhill
but she keeps insisting, 'I'm not ill, I'm not ill! '
so come on, come on, this is the rest of our lives
'and there's no danger, ' she says,
'we're just drumming on the table with knives, '

just another runway ballad
about the life that we never had
they told you the world would know your name...
to the world
you're just 'that girl'
you know that they know it's all the same

well it seems to me that you are going downhill
but you keep insisting, 'I'm not ill, I'm not ill! '
so come on, come on, this is the rest of our lives
'and there's no danger, ' you say,
'we're just drumming on the table with knives, '

she said, 'I really need a big break, '
how much will you give, how much will you take
just close your eyes and roll the dice
see the stars in her eyes?
well, she'll pay the price
