Color Outside The Lines

society points her twisted finger at me
telling me I'm a dumb blond, to short, skinny as a tooth pick
she yells and I can see her yellow teeth
I'm a freak, sluty, a rebel with out a cause

in her scum covered mind I'm just a lab rat
I'm to run obediently through her mazes
I'm to be what she wants me because she saids so

I'm not a rat I'm a person
and I say "no"

I'm smart, just the right hight, have more meat on me then any tooth pick
she can point and sneer at me all she likes I'm stronger then her
with her puny lifeless arms
I'm as normal as I like, talk to who I want

she is right about one thing I AM A REBEL
but not with out a cause
my cause is over come the monster that is
society

    1. Spellcheck your work.
    2. Read the contest rules.
    3. If you can manage both of these things before I close the contest, please resubmit and I'll have a read.

    "my cause is over come the monster that is
    society " <<--this made me smile. This whole poem made me smile - this is a situation a lot of people come in contact with, but one that many do not face. Awesome peom; keep to the writing, and your spirit. =D

    Thanks for entering, and good luck in the contest!
