Little girls,
are made of sugar and spice,
of everything nice,
of roses and rice.
Little girls,
should never be loud,
never be rowdy,
never be proud.
Little girls,
must always curtsy,
always be witty,
always be pretty.
Little girls,
should always be polite,
always smile bright,
never should fight.
Yeah right...
I won't settle for less.
I won't be second best.
I want to have a life.
I won't just be someone's wife...
Cause
I'm breaking out
I'm gonna be loud
I'm standing here proud
Don't give me that face
I won't be second place
cause I'm
Breaking, breaking, breaking out.
I won't be quiet
I'll scream.
I won't be just yours
I have dreams.
You're stepping out
of line.
It's not all yours
half is mine!
You can't hold
me back.
So sit down
and relax.
Cause
I'm breaking out
I'm gonna be loud
I'm standing here proud
Don't give me that face
I won't be second place
cause I'm
breaking, breaking, breaking out.
I'm not gonna sweep.
I'm not gonna scrub.
I'm not gonna leap
when you say so love.
Get used to it
that's how it'll be
Cause I refuse to be
anyone but me.

This is exactly how I feel. I will not be some man's slave. Women have fought for their rights to do things they want and who says otherwise can go stick it. lol This was very very well written. I am totally for the whole women have the same, equal rights as men do. Job well done!
I just came back to this, and when I first saw it, I thought 'ewww...a poem about pimples...'
but then I read it (again!) and remembered the fact that I had already read this poem....
I said it the 1st time and I'll say it again -
awesome poem.
this would so totally make a great song - you have a chorus and everything.
This is awesome! Funny and strongly written. I can relate completely. I am a total Tom-Boy. So I am a Dark fan but this is worth 5 points easy! Not one spelling error aether. I like how you use period at the end of a part. I love the yeah right in the middle! Great work!
Your poem is powerful and well written. Just remember, though, that when you find the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, it should not be just 'me', it should be '50/50'.
You're always telling me that the rhythym of my stories and poems are off and after reading so much of your poetry I have thought of a perfect response :Yours isin't !
Reminds me of a poem I wrote called NOT IF I DON'T WANT TO posted here at PnP only. You can find it here... http://www.prose-n-poetry.com/display_work/805
Mine has a different twist and not such a rebellious undercurrent...but maybe it should, eh? LOL
I have to give you a 5 on that one! YOU GO GIRL!!!!! That poem reminds me of "me" when I was growing up and STILL making my way through life. Trust me, men seem to get intimidated by women who are successful! I know this all to well! Nice poem. Good write girly!
Dude this would be awesome for a rock song. Like a steady beat before the yeah right. And music stops and you say Yeah right! And it turns into a rocking song. That would rule.
When I first started to read the poem I couldn't believe what you were saying. But once I got to the yeah right I felt reliefed. I really enjoyed the paragraph after the yeah right. that was the best paragraph in the poem. Keep up the good work.
