Troubles like a whirlwind spin around my head,
I try to do what's right but mess it up instead.
I don't know why this happens,
I'm really quite a joy,
My daddy says it happens,
'Cause I should have been a boy.
There's a little bit of devil mixed with lots of energy,
The two fuss and battle over my feminenity.
Papa says do not fuss and do not cry,
Like a caterpillar does,
You'll emerge a butterfly.
Author notes
This poem in all honesty was written FOR me by my grandmother, so I just wanted to let you know that. I really really love this poem, I think it was fabulously written other than just the sentimental value. I really hope you agree.

Was sweet lowl, the way it battled over her being a tom boy and her father saying that she will be beautiful when she blossoms.
Thanks for entering, GL.
