Revlon 900

This is the poem you've been avoiding sweet girl, this is the one that lives silently between your lips and makes your heart heavy..

You don't wanna tell people all these secrets, but the pain has been suffocating you like asthma and you wish you could breathe without problems baby..

Revlon 900, revlon 900 is your latest obsession. You got over Adele, over jessie j, and found something more than just music to cover up the pain

You want to walk around like you are not hurting, revlon 900, big hair, perfume, have them thinking you're all that and a pack of chips

But you're not fooling me young lady, at the end of the day when you take it all off, when you wrap that hair up
I'm still the only thing you own..
And that is not okay..

What are you so afraid of sweet girl? You're not 10 anymore, speak up..
Cause they can't you push you around anymore, tell them the truth because they won't beat you here. They won't call you worthless here because you belong here baby

Tell them, tell them that you do cry
That even your loneliness is lonely, that you're tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, that you want love more than anything else in this world but you wouldn't say yes to it even if it looked you in the eye

Tell them, tell them, that you were beaten black and blue when you were 6 and 7 and 8. And even now 12 years later you're still trying to get over that hate..

Tell the truth, that you use Revlon 900 to look grown and mature and fearless..but at night you only wish that someone would cradle you in their arms and rock you to sleep...

You are not strong, and you are not unbreakable kid, you break all the time
and don't tell anyone about that..

Revlon 900 everyday, so they won't notice the ache, but beneath all of that you're just a girl trying to heal, with all the poetry in that heart no man can steal.
