Depressed girls make good art....

Depressed girls make good art
Saddened by loss and confused and misunderstood still driven
To create

Depressed girls ambitious and motivated
in the Los Angeles sun
in the San Fernando Valley heat
driving
in the desert sun
driving

Sad girls make good music
make good sounds
not accepting defeat
not willing to look back into the eyes of the mother
or the eyes of the beholder
not willing anymore to
re-write the story
over and over

Angry, used, misjudged and misunderstood
slender arms exposed and confused
long legs tanned and bruised
Lonely girls making good art, films, music and books
Eaten up inside, the flesh intolerant and skewed

Ambitious and hungry from the outside it seems
Depressed and driven
only when exposed from within

And the happy girls are still sick from pretending
Tired of lying
and vomiting up their lunches
