you want a girl

you want a girl who's seen and not heard

heard and not seen and won't speak

or speak up

you want a girl who keeps her body tense

and won't move forward 

or reach out

or is reached to

you want a girl who stifles her image

who chokes on her soul

and glazes over her dreams 

and will deny herself her destiny

you want a beautiful exoskeleton

and a mutated suffocated inside

you want a girl who's seen and not head
