born a woman

If you are a woman, especially a beauty.
Cry, there are countless people open their arms.
Laugh, there are countless people in the saddle.
Even walking on the most ordinary street, you will be injected with unstoppable color because of the gaze of passers-by.
She stood there, surrounded by darkness for her, motionless, waiting for someone to risk her life. Just like a Venus flytrap, there is no need for extra running, and prey will naturally come to the door. But her hunts are never bloody, because the prey has fallen into the trap without touching it.
You don't understand her game.
She just needs to be nice to you and you're already elated. As long as she doesn't speak, you think she means something to you. She only showed her collarbone, and you've shown it all. Before the last touch of her hair ends, you have become a dried butterfly on the specimen wall. Yes, beauty hunts like that. This is the best pastime game for a woman.
But her appearance is so bright, like the red berries in autumn, no one can't help but want to pick it. The skin that gives her fun can also become a deadly bullseye, constantly attracting danger.
She must always be on guard, even a teenager who knocks on the car window may be malicious at any time.
She must always be careful that even the simplest friendships can spring from the most primitive impulses.
In her world, there are almost no concerns that have nothing to do with the skin.
This skin can become a gentle black umbrella for passersby on rainy days.
This skin can turn into an out-of-focus film at other people's weddings.
This skin can replace the missing change in convenience stores.
This skin can be turned into ecstasy in a water glass.

Women stand in the distance to hunt men, men hide in close proximity to ambush women.
No matter what kind of soul is wrapped under this skin, there are always people who are willing to work hard for it.
I have a painted skin, and I hide behind the painted skin to look at people and take off the painted skin to look at people, and people are different.
If you are already beautiful, how can you still live a simple life?
