Corsets

Corsets around me

tightening on the last harp string,

allowing no air

for me and the world to share

so deadly and painful

but **** and beautiful

I will endure,

to have it once more

to give it all

to allow myself to fall

to change all of me,

for all the world to see

I will make it through

to be more like you

imitation is suicide,

to swallow all my pride

I will hang

in all popular things

then be more like me

I die in the noose of society
