The signature hand felled paper
These fingers come in five on one
Paper felt soft for finger write
Walk that paper, like a treadmill run.
Not all girls like chocolates and Teddy bears
And husbands to be millionaires.
Some girls love Video games, adventures and sneakers over high heels.
The lure of untainted flower,
Its sweet perfume encased in a whorl.
Alas! That which I await is scarce.
This memory will be banished tomorrow.
Tomorrow ,
She always keeps her memory in her present.
Lest she forget and all will be to no avail.
She keeps her memories in an arsenal of introspection in preparation for the battle.
I dream of the puddles from April rains
of the pink candy floss sugar fluff at the fair
of holding hands while crossing the streets
of the warm hugs and pats on the head
of the innocence, oh the innocence
I want to ride on the back of bees
I truly wish you would recognize me
I claw into myself
I clean it up
I get thrown in the trash
for the garbage pickup
I display raw strength
Stand
Stand up because today is not yesturday and the past is not the future
Stand
Stand up because today the world can be diffrent the world can change because you can make it change
Stand
My, oh my, Mama Bear is panicking
The look on her face of her eaten porridge is the regret of our traveling
My, oh my, Papa Bear is angry
Once upon a midnight dreary
Cinderella could see her future clearly
A life in a house
With step-mother louse
Cinderella's eyes got quite bleary.
Enough of this! She blarted
As she stood
As you walk down the street
Women, girls stop to
Look you up and down
To give you jealous looks
And you can see in their faces
That they are judging you
How silly of them
But why,why should I change the name that has been an X chromosome legacy passed down from our mothers and all the women before them who have been pushed so far into the hole of oppression, canyon sealed so no one could hear their scream
