Don’t Ask Me

Don’t take my picture Earthquake Richter

Scale put on some pounds Diet merry go round

Yo-yo dieting Cheating Lying

World filled with venom Face puckered tart lemon

Lie after lie Truth caught in the blink of an eye

You dare ask why The world is beautiful I will deny

Joke is on you You really believe what you say is true

So naïve You have been deceived

I won’t apologize Ugliness hiding in disguise

Don’t ask me for my advice When the time comes for your final demise Hello I’m the Ice Queen I’m as cold as ice

The world is in denial Believing words of swagger Hope somebody has your back I see a dagger The backstabber

I may be a lot of things Stupid is not one

Evil seen beyond a mile Vomit Puke up bile

Just trying to unwash your brain Before they lock me away Clinically insane
