I'M Sorry

I’m Sorry

I’m sorry that I am a girl and I like to be a girl,
that I like to dress up on special occasions, 
and my hair to have a little curl,

I’m sorry that I show my shoulders,
 just to feel content,
and spray my perfume to have no smelly scent,

I’m sorry that my makeup is a bit  too much, 
and my eyebrows are on fleek,
oh sorry I'm not the one to be meek,

I’m sorry that our society sucks,
be yourself they say, as they discriminate the things you do, 
but I am telling you that I will have no part of the societal flux,

I’m sorry that I want to be myself, 
and do what I do, 
while they treat me like a doll forgotten on a shelf,
dusty, broken and blue,

I’m sorry that I want stand up for what is right,
and walk towards that good ol' bright light, 
only so society can put me down just out of spite,

I’m sorry that I will not let Society put me down, 
because they all treat me like a clown,

I’m sorry it makes society feel good,
they should call me Robin Hood,

I’m sorry that I make you uncomfortable,
but deep down inside I am bit dysfunctional,

I’m sorry that I want to be me, 
while I hop up and down with glee,

I’m sorry that I want to be girl and I should be a girl, 
that I like to dress up on special occasions, 
and my hair to have a little curl, 

Oh no need to worry,
because I’m really not sorry.

Ha great couplet poem, Amelia, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
