Mainstream

I will stand in line
Buy all the right shoes
Dye my hair so its less red
wear some heals
wear a skirt
Talk of pop
Eat my candy
Swallow my soul
Drink red wine
Be a girl
Follow the expectations
Mainstream at the seams
lie to all
Even me
So that I can be that
Which is mainstream

the line is too straight
the shoes are all wrong
The hairy lips are still red
the skirt has a tear
the pop went flat
the candy is sour
The soul turned to bile
the red wine turned to pennies
The girl found a hole in her vagina
The Expectation slithered into eve
Mainstream has been deceived
honesty to all
even me
So that I can be
anything but mainstream
