When I was a Child

When I was a child, I loved all that I could see, When I was young, The world existing was enough for me.

But one day someone said, That was not enough. You need to go out, And collect a bunch of useless stuff.

Get a job, Close your heart, Work yourself to death, To prove you want the part.

Rent a house, Get a lover, If he runs out of spirit, You know where to find another.

Go sit in a building, The teacher's are a little bold. Now I'm worth my weight in something, But I'm not sure it's gold.

I am ready for a family, I am ready to start my life, I've invested my twenties wisely So why am I filled with strife.

My family approves, And I have a signed piece of paper. I am the ultimate feminist, So why am I not full of caper?

When I was quite young, I'd meditate on mountains, And I'd bask in the sun. I'd chase the coyotes, I'd watch the galaxy all night, And I gave it all up, To prove I was alright.

When I was young I thought I knew, Exactly what to do. When I was young I never imagined, I'd meet a man like you. Thank You

Aw. Is that the one you were working on for the man?

naw, this is more of a reflection piece than a love poem. I suppose, this poem is my struggle with feminism and the confusion it caused, and how it took a man to fix it. see, the tempo was frustrated, distressed and escalating and i thought it would be nice to end the poem abruptly with hope caused by the appreciation of a man.

my guy did the whole redpill her, then get engaged with the freshly redpilled crazy freshly ex feminist. not his smartest move but I think it's all working out lol
