Little Girl

You deserved better than the
Half-lived life
in your
half-lived world,
little girl.
Don't live up to standard standards
You're more than mere blueprints
Your parents planned.
Get a job, but
Marry a good husband,
Have a family..
Oh, and put on a little lipstick, honey.
To hell with their conventional ways.
Do what pleases you...
Don't hide behind your power-suit Barbie facade
Get a tatoo if you want
(And you know you do)
Study art and philosophy
Whatever tickles your fancy
Try everything at least once, like shark's fin
And make sure it's the whole shark's fin.
Why settle for a peak?
When you can climb the lookout tower
To view the world from above
There is so much you don't know
So much to explore, experience and learn
Break away from the rotting shell
Your parents molded you into
Break away from the half- lived life
in your
Half-lived world,
Little girl
