Girl

Tori Amos- Girl

Her trumpets blare

Calling to all the men that listen

Like the Pied Piper attracting

All the little kids

"She's been everybody else's girl

 Maybe one day she'll be her own"

Her voice sings like a siren

The beauty attracts all wary sailors

Like the stalking butler

With the posioned wine

"She's been everybody else's girl

 Maybe one day she'll be her own"

She's been used so many times

She feels like a Wii

Like any modern day tramp

Trying to feed her drug addiction

"She's been everybody else's girl

 Maybe one day she'll be her own"

Tori Amos rocks! Especially "Here in my Head" and "A Sorta Fairytale".

Now that I am past my excitement...:) This poem is truly excellent, Shawn. I love what you did with the two conversations. And in many ways this could be lengthened and turned into a song. My favorite lines were, "Like a stalking butler With the poisoned wine". But I really enjoyed this entire piece. This definitely does has the "Cornflake Girl" feel. Wonderful!

I love it!! ^.^ I normally don't even dig poetry, but this is rad. Tori Amos just takes my breath away. (Also, here's the only constructive part, you spelled stalking incorrectly)
