"sit still"
"be quiet"
"say nothing"
"behave"
"obey, dammit!"
"do what you're told"
china doll my ass!
just a pretty little robot
time to shear the sheep
...time to pay the madam
my time to break the glass
my time to shatter the china
so long sitting still
quietly
saying nothing
behaving
obeying
damn...
FUCK THIS!
19's better than 50
why was i born into slavery?
and why can't i escape it?
my two best friends
they've only known me a few months
but they love me more than you have my whole life
aren't you sick of this bull shit?
you've never lived
don't you wonder what it's like?
to be ALIVE?
i do
and i won't stay dead
any fucking longer
Author notes
just a bit of what i've been going through with my parents (mainly my mother) lately

Very nice. Its harsh and to the point. Full of emotional screaming and deep meanings. A stark relief picture of life and very good one at that. Very nice work. I do think that the first part may flow better if broken in to stanzas as well, but still very good over all job. Best of luck in the contest!
