Good Girl

Good girl
Raised in a good home
With good rules
Good talk
Good schools
Good girl listened
Watched as the rules
Would bend
Noticed how the
Good talk
Did not always
Walk the walk
Silently watching
It all
Taking it in.

Stand up straight
Don't wear this
Wear that
Why are you
Wearing that hat?
Pull your hair back
No
Wear it down
Smile more
Mommy doesn't like
To see you frown
Smile pretty
Mommy needs
A good girl
No questions dear
It's the questions
Mommy doesn't like to hear

What was that
You said?
Critical voices
Creating the person
I'd some day dread.
