Never Been Nobody's Baby

Never Been Nobody's Baby

A Poem by Diana

And I said I'd never be Nobody's Fool,
Never let nobody make a fool outta me.

And I'm not.
But I'm Nobody's Baby neither.

This is a different tone and style from me, a completely different sort of word usage, as well.

A simple yet strong statement; reminds me of my father-in-law. When my husband and I were dating, his father called me "Little Girl" - it drove me crazy. Not sure if my then-boyfriend said anything, but it stopped by the time we were married... those monikers matter...

I like the strength and determination, and intentional misuse on n's which serves to punctuate the piece.

Thank you. It is quite brash. Well-noted.

it seems like a song to me, anthem-ic and strong, powerful...

Yes, I can see this one being song-like. Very true. I think it works as song and poem.
I do like the idea of freedom and never being nobody's fool or baby. You are though somebody's poet...Bravo...............
