Good Girl

Good Girl

Be a good girl
follow the leader
heed the rules
get along
keep the peace

For so long
you were
the best girl
but oh the toll
it took on you

Bend
buckle
break
puddle
repeat

Being a good girl was work
skills were developed
tools were acquired
now you can use them
for yourself

Rebel
challenge the leader
break the rules
make your own rules
get out

You are not a good girl
because you are not their girl
not anymore
you have become
yourself
