Sugar and Spice
by: Sara

Smiles, tears, make-up and fears
Thats what little girls are made of
Skin and bones with a heartless home
Thats what little girls are made of
Dresses and skirts needed to be flirts
Thats what little girls are made of
Grades and perfection, longing for affection
Thats what little girls are made of
Frowns, laughs, always an act
Thats what little girls are made of
When will it stop?
When will it end?
When will society become our friend?
And let littel girls be made of sugar and spice and
everything nice.
Thats what little girls should be made of.
