I Am Woman
I am a woman
It's not my fault
I was born a paradox
sweet and soft and malleable
but armed,
with a brain as quick as a rabbit,
a tongue as sharp as a dagger
and a spirit that will not yield
Kill me, beat me, rape me,
you'll never, ever break me
I was born a woman,
a goddess in the womb
not a stallion born to be broken.

Oh my love
"This cliche teenage heart drums in rhythm with the pounding and rushing and whirring of the world surrounding me. Trapped within a cage of skin and bone, throbbing to be free, begging to be let go." - January 2009

About Me
About me
My name is Melanie.
I'm currently 16 years old and junior in high school.
I've been a member of neopoet.com for about three years now.
I hope that my poetry is evolving, but of course, I can't really say for sure.
I'm a friendly, talkative, intelligent, and argumentative kid. The angst of my middle-school years has greatly subsided, but what sort of existentialist would I be if I didn't retain at least a bit of it?
Location: Michigan/USA
