I was born 97 years ago. It has been a good life.
I haven't suffered much.
As I look back it seems the world tried
to teach me how
to be a good person.
I wanted more.
I wanted to be a success
famous even.
I doubt I made it even as a good person.
You'll never amount to anything
I was told by one of my aunts.
Her children were raised to be perfect.
I didn't want that.
Girls I supposed to be perfect
not thanked for their efforts
or talents.
They just have to be beyond
anyones notice
seen and not heard
not published
not a star
not even a sex object.
However its unmentioned
but likely
they must be quietly submitting
to whatever anyone and everyone
expects from them.
