The White Lily Stereotype Arrangement
Picturing two contradictory images in my mind's eye
Thought that I met Prince Charming in the flesh
Turned out it was just a frog in complete disguise
Felt like it was a slap in the face to the perceived intellect
That I thought was at my disposal the whole time
Discerning enough to choose a movie or car
Not enough to pick up proper husband material
Have accepted the fact that love was many things
Blind, death and dumb was among them
Perception was the key to succeed in life
Could have no prospects but simple marketing
Can do the test and hoodwink anybody
Shopping around for a used car or a washed up guy
Add a price tag with a bargain basement price
And the ladies will go buck wild over what's being sold
Have learned that appearances can be deceiving
The picture of innocence and virtue could hide
Something more sinister than anyone ever expected
The 2019 version of Ward Cleaver could win Father of the Year
And be carrying more skeletons in his designer closet than a science lab
Better to judge a person by their character than what's on the outside
Met a girl who resembled a porcelain doll minus the demonic eyes
Looked like she could break if she was taken off of her oak pedestal
Forced to remain a prisoner in her own personal ivory tower
Desperately needing the help that only an Exorcist could cure
Not even Prince Charming knew how to break her out
When she didn't have the strength to leave the arrangement herself
Fighting to gather the strength to be more than a living doll
Burning the dreadful pretty pink Princess dress to the ground
Chopping off each Cocker Spaniel Chestnut curl effortlessly
Ready to kick down the once bolted bright red front door
Pulling into the black Honda Accord and burning as much rubber
Without leaving a trace of the past behind
Forging a new identity made of a blood and breakable bones
No Porcelain necessary
