"Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous." ~Anais Nin

Poetry Wednesday #49

I found this photo on a Pinterest board.
The outfit is sold on Etsy.

Woman, 3 of many

She always wanted to travel against the status quo, and walk on paths less beaten,
But she was met with a resounding "No!" when she tried to dip her feet in.
In greater than ten thousand ways she was told she was worth zero—
For a girl is only good for lays and can never be a hero.
Her courage, once great and true and strong, could not stand against the constant pecking
And soon the disenchanted throng had her to do their becking.
By the time she'd grown she'd lost her joy, and her bravery, spirit, and brain.
All because she was not a boy, she lived her life in pain.
