The TV told me
that I need to be
pretty and sweet
awkward at the start
to win my best friend
from the blonde with
a nice car

The TV told me
I need to put my feet
into tiny high heeled shoes
that make me walk
in tiny steps
and trip over my sentences

The TV told me
I have to hold my breath
and tie myself into low rise jeans
push up bras
line my eyes
and dye my hair

The TV says
I have to change
I'll never win
his heart
the way I am
today
