Rebel

perfect imperfection 
Margarita on the rocks
Impetuous with direction
Pigheaded as an ox

Shaken not stirred 
Pepsi not coke
Rarely deterred
Deaf when you spoke

Tenacious in a squabble 
Fixed in a stance
With liquor she won't wobble 
It's an everyday dance

Prideful to a fault
An air of mystery
Her decisions taut
 Writes her own history

If your opinion contradicts
No need to refute
Her tongue will throw bricks
She'll play you like a flute 

But inside she is harmless
Tasted heaven and hell
Her confidence, far less
Beneath her shell

Brick walls, she constructed
 Her father played part
Purity and youth, he destructed
Placing guards around her heart

If you take the time to tame her
A delightful feast
You realize you couldn't blame her
For portraying a beast
