Prickles

Prickles on my thighs, feel

Prickles on my chest, feel

Prickles across my spine

I don’t feel so pretty but that’s OK

It’s still alright to hide

Oh baby, you’re so young

Mama said be who you are but

I can’t tell you if I know who that is

I feel sweet, I feel empty

I feel ruthless, I’m attempting to feel this

Whole life standing next to pale men

Hated how I glowed, so i tried to blend in

Tell me baby

Why should I do this again?

Am I not tired?

Prickles on my thighs, feel

Prickles on my chest, feel

Prickles across my spine

I don’t feel so pretty but that’s OK

It’s still alright to hide

Oh baby, you’re so young
