This is very much like the song by No Doubt. I took a few lines right from the song. What can I say? I was "inspired." I am not man-bashing or anything of the like. I am a firm believer that women are just as powerful as men, but I am not a "feminist." Just wanted to do a little stereotype bashing. Now let me open up my eyes The world I see Is no big surprise Powerful women Do as much as they can But the backbone of the world Is still the man. "Oh I'm just a girl, little ol' me" Doomed to be a housewife I'm just a girl, perfect and petite What can I do with my life? When I look into your eyes I can see You want no compromise Stay out late Party and drink beer I'll wait at home I'll be sitting here Oh I'm just a girl Oh I'm so lucky I've got it so good I should be happy with my life Oh I'm just a girl Something pretty for you to see And then forget when you close your eyes "I'm just a girl" Do you remember me? I'm not the one from the magazine Oh I'm just a girl Smile, sit pretty The clothes I wear Make you want to stare Oh I'm just a girl, what can I be? What expectations will I have to meet? The future doesn't seem so bright to me But I'm just a girl, oh I'm so sorry It seems I've forgotten my place again I'm just a girl, oh lucky lucky me A pretty picture, silent and sweet "I'm just a girl" What else would I want to be? 'Cause I'm just a girl, in your world. I think those take care of 'em all Acire. If not, let me know someone okay? Thanks Bel [This message has been edited by Isabel Galaxia (edited 07-04-2001).] |

I like the piece. Careful about using song words. I feel its still within the boundries. Girls are told they they can be anyhting they want to be then are limited when they enter the male dominated world. |

I like the poem. I agree, girls are often overlooked. I think that they can do things just as well as male, if not sometimes better. - Cody - |

Hah! Very good, Bel! What I was thinking when reading this poem was hoe much things have changed. It seems like this sort of thing is more of the 50's. Things between the sexes are getting better... but not quite there yet. I liked this poem a lot! Very cute. Nice work. --Marie You can’t expect the roses to grow without the weeds. |

I like, I like! I can't say anything else without getting goofy, so I'll just stick with "I like, I like!" Rhonda  "Amy, can you PLEASE come to Spain with us so that we have someone to keep Rhonda calm?" - Mr. Ardiel *insert hysterical laughter from me here* |

I liked this one a lot. I didn't see this as a femenist poem. I am completely against the femenist movement, but this didn't coincide with any femenist thoughts. Anyhow, you already said that. The song was very nice. I really liked it. Wonderful thoughts.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
