Written on Jun 23, 2016

Here's to the girl who's ideal super power would be to disappear
This ones for female who's been cat-called and objectified
It goes out to that chick with the amazing body no one can see through
Having lost her sense of internal worth and pride
She gets down on her knees
She takes it like a WO-man
She get's back up every day and faces a world with a smiling mask
So ladies, in your right hand, raise your glass
May you be ugly, so they will look at your lips and not your tits
May you smile, and not be called a compulsive flirt
May you be seen, for the first time in your life
