Description Smile, child. All eyes are on you.
Smile, child. All we expect are great things from you to come through.
Smile, child. Put on this dress.
Smile, child. Put on a dress to impress.

What?

No!
I don't want to impress, I refuse to wear a dress.
I'll do the things I like, I'll wear the clothes I love.
You won't win, when push comes to shove.

Smile, child. You want a boy to like you, right?
Smile, child. You want him to hold you at night!
Smile, child. So you can stay at home.
Smile, child. So you won't be all alone.

What?

No!
That's not what I want, that's not what I said!
You can't make me do what you couldn't,
And I know that I shouldn't.

Smile, child. Stand up straight.
Smile, child. This is your big break.
Smile, child. You'll go home tonight.
Smile, child. You'll get this right.

I refuse.

I'll go naked into this world, the way I came in.
And you know what? World won't end.
I don't want no wannabe-man,
Of them I'm not a big fan.
I'd rather be alone,
Then serving him dinner and taking crap at home.
So take your dress, take your straight, take your everything back.
I'm leaving now, I don't care that I have to walk,
If it's home, alone, or to someone else's to talk.

Good-bye.

An excellent poem--You convey the emotions very well and I love the repetition.

I don't know if you'd want to, but this club would love to have a talented writer like you!

I love your poem, it desribes the frustration in that everyone thinks you want to find a boy to be together with just because you're a girl in a nutshell, I think.

"I refuse

I'll go naked into this world, the way I came in.
And you know what? World won't end."

This part got somewhat etched into my brain, I like it.

Thank you *so* much for your comment. I means a lot to me that what I wanted to convey came across clearly.. And to be honest? That's my favorite line. So thank you! I'm about to go to bed, but when I wake, I'll make sure to check your gallery out.

Some people just don't understand, do they? Reading that made me kind of mad! Just because you "bend that way" doesn't mean you're not human. Where did yoiu meet these people? If you don't mind me saying they're rather... stupid!


I like your poem though

Most of it was from the teen e-list for my home-schooling group (Sadly enough. >.<, but the "Different species" one was actually during a 6 hour phone call with one of my closest (Though I wouldn't say "best") friends.. She's not really anti-gay or look down or anything.. She's just ... yeah stupid seems about right. Though she's not that either.. Hmm.. Ignorant? Yeah..

And thank you. I had a burst of inspiration and it just flowed out naturally..

Until the end. I had to -really- struggle to actually have a ending.. But I think I taped it off well enough.. Maybe.. -too self-critical-

Nah, the ending's good... i have that problem too. I write/draw something, with a burst of inspiration, then i just don't know how to finish it so it ends up crap.

I do that a lot too. Typically, it's the hands/feet that are the "end" of my drawings so they're my weakest bits. Like I did this really great drawing of my OC once.. Except she was armless until the very end, and then I couldn't figure out a pose for them.. And then I drew/inked one of her hands upside down. It's the little things like which side the thumb is on that get'cha, I swear.
