Once upon a time…
a myth prodded my mind
the branding iron labeled me
stamped a number
an expiration date
a factory of Princess’
we were meant to be the same
sweet and innocent
blonde, brown, red hair
but our eyes have lost the spark
and our makers lost their care
Barbies off a lineup
waiting for our Ken
told to be ‘good girls’
to cross our legs when we sit
how to smile
and to never spit
but that dream has faded
now the dolls are pierced and tattooed
the era of the Princess
has turned to the era
of an independent attitude
self-entitled
‘bitches
who don’t give a shit’
the race to be unique
has led them all to be the same

This has been something I have been noticing for a long time… Wondering what happened to the women in this world? Why most of them protest at how they are “gonna do whatever I want, and I don’t care what anyone says, this is just who I am”.
I know the world is a difficult place, but I do know first hand we all get to choose who we want to be, why choose that? There needs to be a balance.
The era of the good girl is gone, I feel as though I have been left in the dust. I have more respect and admiration for a woman that is gentle, caring, and loving, without being afraid to show it… Maybe that’s just me.

Wonderful Words! Spot on, Nothing is sacred now
but sacred is the wrong word. ‘Special’ perhaps.
We can keep them that way! by believing in things. :)
This is wonderful and honest and real and so on the mark. I agree with you, a genuine female soul isn’t afraid to show kindness and the soft side that she was meant to be. I absolutely find nothing in the grand standers who believe their “voice” means everything. It makes me tired and sad for their disillusionment in life. I love being a woman and every wonderful pleasure that goes with that. Long live the fabulously feminine! :) Wonderful work my friend. xx
