love song for girls

by puppeteer

/

about

song about young girls lost on their phones in social media platforms where may prey echo chambers, shaming, and grooming.... girls should have a childhood playing with real friends or sibs outside, a good distance from their parents which is how they learn to overcome anxieties, to make choices, to foster imagination, and to take responsibility.

lyrics

love song for girls by Puppeteer C)2023

I've been on the screen all day
Waiting for other girls to say
I really like you, you're so cool
Because there's nobody in school
Who's going to love me, make me smile?
Who's going to make me walk a mile?
"Cause I'd do anything to find
The scene that's going to blow my mind

I'm too fat
I'm too sad
Can't look at
The body I've had
She hates me
Irritates me
Can I show my face
Or take up less space?

The world outside does not exist
But it has eyes to see my wrist
I try to hurt but not to die
The more I do the more I try
Look at the size of my hips
My brown skin, my nose, my lips
Inside the screen I've found my friends
Who'll stay with me until the end

I'm no princess
I'm a dark star
Girl, you couldn't be less perfect the way you are
We all pain
We all complain
Turn off the screen, go outside and dance in the rain

and ask your folks for a hug
and listen to the cocteau twins on the rug
and study the birds, the plants, the bugs
and stay away from online thugs
make tea and watch those pretty eyes looking up from the mug
