I Don't Want To Be Perfect

As always I try to keep my poem posts on my blog seperate from any other blogging and such I do. Here's my newest poem thanks to the Shania Twain song I Don't Wanna Be and well a few other things. Fix your eyebrows, Dye your hair, Put on some make-up Come on show that you care, Be sure to be dressed just right, And be silent unless spoken to, After all you’re just a woman And your opinions don’t matter like a man’s, You have to work double time to count That glass ceiling holds you in, Manicure your nails, Brush your teeth just right, Lose a few more pounds It’s another fad diet But it shouldn’t matter After all you have to fit in, You have to look the image, You must fit the stereotype. It doesn’t matter if you got a mind It’s the outside that counts, Not the beauty within, Forget all those stories mommy told you If you really want to fit in, It doesn’t matter if you can write, Or heal people’s hearts and minds, Or able to kiss all the tears away,
