Peroxide Girl

When I first saw you.

Thought I'd never see,

Another woman

As beautiful as thee.

As time began to strip away

All your blonde array.

The true colors of your life

Revealed all your strife.

Oh peroxide girl

With dark brows.

And black roots.

I can see, now!

Your actual verbs 

     beneath your peroxide words.

In hand a knife 

     backing a peroxide life.

What you are hiding 

Can't be so binding.

What's so bad about your natural color?

What's so sad about your natural life?

Why was it so important to bleach your past?

Did you think this new color would last?
