I AM

by Kitty   Aug 28, 2006


I am the perfect little pampered princess
I am the selfish little stuck-up spoilt bi@tch
I am the typical teenage girl in distress
I am daddies little pride and joy
I am mummies evil witch

I am all I see
The As of my report
The secrets of my diary
The forced smile on my face
Visions of hope for my future
And stereo types in the media
Telling me I am not just good enough

I am all I hear
Lies after lies escaping my mouth
Music trying to drown out these thoughts
My self conscious voice putting me down
The silence of my angry household
Too bitter to speak to one another

I am all I feel and taste
Nurofen helping rid me of lifes headache
Monthly cramps reminding how it sucks to be a girl
The comfort of my teddy on a bad day
The sweetness of sugar
The bitterness of lemons

And I am all I remember
The trauma of my past
The haunted nightmares of my sleep
Living life as an unnoticed shadow in a corner
Being forced to grow up over night
But punished for acting childish

I am all I have been taught
â??Children arent allowed freedom or happiness
Adults can do whatever they want

I am all I think
Defend your rights and face the consequences
If you are going down, take your pride with you

I am all of these things
Im like Sleeping Beauty
Lost in an enchanted sleep, awaiting my handsome prince
But one day I will
Wake up and realise there is no prince charming
There is no happily ever after
This is my life

Because I am the woman of the future
