Poems
Nov 2017
don't call me pretty
Don't call me pretty
I am not pretty
I am a warrior molded from hot iron
Beaten down to conform to a shape
To conform to a number
To conform to a scale
I forgave the people who ripped me apart
I crawled tooth and nail out of the ashes that trapped me
I get up every morning with a purpose to change
So don't call me pretty
Because I am so much more
a warrior song for all my ladies (and men) out there :-)
