Predestination
by NancyGene

What do you want in your life, little girl?
Who do you blame for your strife, old man?

I want dolls and candy and dresses to twirl
I blame a system for making me less than

around in my room and to dream of a prince
what I should be and robbing me of

who will bring me a happily ever life, since
my freedom and schooling and even the love

I’m a beautiful girl and that’s all I will need
of a kind-hearted girl I could have for my own

but what are these warnings I’m failing to heed?
and it cannot be you, soon to be dust and bones.
