Branded for Life
A look at an abused woman, who has changed her body in order to keep her man.

The ink painted on her,
Make those stretch marks stick out.
With all the metal in her mouth,
She talks with a lisp.

She claims its body art.
How unique and artistic is it,
When every other woman,
Has the same ink done.

Can’t afford plastic surgery;
So a push up bra will work fine.
Brainwashed by men and the media,
That her breasts are too small.

Makeup covering her blackened eyes;
As the Superbowl is played on.
She buys more cheesy gold rings from QVC,
and wears one on each finger.

She is a cartoon character;
That has come to life.
Trying to make the pain go away,
With yet more ink and gold

Now she is covered in ink
that now has lost its meaning.
Wearing yet another gold ring,
That isn’t yet paid for.

She takes a good look at her chest;
And sees her breasts are now lopsided.
So she saves for the surgery;
It will be a surprise for her hubby.
