grocery store

[beanpoophead]

Standing in aisle nine
feeling tears sting my eyes
grocery stores always lie
bright colored signs
except were barely getting by
can’t afford your dollar ninety nine

smiled at the wrinkled eyes
don’t even know im alive
lonely eyes, lonely lives
see those people smile
and wish with all I’ve got
that I could just be like that

melancholy melons
and day old fruit, half priced
to push on by these buyers
with the look in their eyes
that supper isn’t coming tonight
and my eyes scream it

to sad to cry, to strong to not
the chill of the freezer
burns my tears, inside
keeping fat free, fat free
making me feel okay
about being me

grocery store blues
wishing for something im not
wishing to be the happy girl
that makes me feel
like someone offing me
makes me dead inside

grocery store days
making me wish for something more
pushing my cart down aisle ten
maybe things could be ok then
maybe half price will go away
and I’ll smile
for the first time
since i crossed that golden mile
