I’m living my life in the world of women
Blasting through the patriarchy
Of my own mind
Imprinted from daddy
From the day I was born
Elfin fingers and toes
Stuffed into pink
Bows and white gloves
Bloodied knuckles
Seeping through
I will not make the brothers' sandwiches
And I am not made for
Secretarial school
Screw that rule
