Good Little Girl

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis

My birth came with a checklist

How to be a Good Little Girl

Get pen and paper ready

Soft golden curls frame my face

Fixed smile always in place

I'm here to make you feel special

Don't do this/ Don't say that

Don't touch or stares you'll attract

Eyes down and try to look perfect

Embrace the beauty queen

A mini you I'll be

A stepford child you're creating

You hide behind my reflection

All that I am, an extension of you

The real me fights and screams

to stay alive

She is drowning inside, but your

Good little girl survives

Children should be seen and not heard

is the motto we live

Make a scene and you'll be sorry

Read from the measurement portion of the

good girl checklist

Section on How to Judge Yourself

Weight should be 115, GPA 4.3

Skip grades and show them your brilliance

Never cry, it's fine

You'll learn to fall in line

Emotions must be avoided

You hide behind my reflection

All that I am, an extension of you

The real me fights and screams

to stay alive

She is drowning inside, but your

Good little girl survives

I can't take care of you anymore

I've been your therapist since I was four

There's so much left of me to explore

Good little girl burns the checklist and

walks out the door

Leaves ash on the floor

Closes the door

Good girl no more

You hide behind my reflection

All that I am, an extension of you

The real me fights and screams

to stay alive

She is drowning inside, but your

Good little girl survives
