Yes

23/02/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



Yes, I do want to wear a dress

Or, perhaps, a suit.

Maybe a skirt and jacket.

Or trousers and a shirt.



Yes, I do want to get dolled up

With make-up and accessories

But, also, not be bothered with any of it

Just because I can.



Yes, I want to go to the ballet

And clap very politely,

Then yell and scream my lungs out

Watching a football match.



Yes, I’d like to take extension Science

And advanced English, too, you know.

I’d really enjoy a Photography course

And learning Maths as well.



Yes, I’d like to ride motorbikes

Though dirt and mud and sand,

And I’d like to be chauffeured around

As the princess that I am.



Yes, I want to be taken care of

So I don’t have to cook and clean,

But I’m little miss independent, too

And can do this on my own.



Yes, I am full of contradictions,

They’re what make me me.

I don’t need to follow any rules

Just because I am a girl.
