I'll Oppose

I'll Oppose

A Poem by leatherandlace
"

We are the girls not to be pushed down.

"

Like a b***h, you will command me to stay

but stillness and I have never

been well acquainted.

I will walk onto the lawns

and paw the grass,

but you can't make me stop

without a leash.

I will track mud throughout

your mind

and take up room on your bed;

I was never respectful of rules.

I'll drool and I'll growl,

because you expect my mouth

to be dry 

and my voice to utter quiet whines.

I won't eat the food you provide

but I'll take the food from your plate,

and when I am punished and cast out

into the cold darkness,

don't expect me to beg for forgiveness.

I'd rather endure.

When you call for me, I won't come

and when you pull at me

I'll oppose.

You want to groom me

and cut the tangles from me,

but you'd never find the patience.

Instead you will abandon me,

a lost cause,

a cast away,

a mutt,

and still I wander where I please.
I will remain

untrained.
