I Pledge Allegiance...

I pledge allegiance to My Goddess
Because women rule
And boys drool
If maturity is measured in hours
Or days, shoe sizes, or hamburgers one can eat
I guess I'm at the bottom of the ladder
But if it's measured in how much you express yourself
How you feel, when and where
Then maybe I'm up a few rungs
But no one can tell me that I CAN'T
Or I SHOULDN'T
Because I am me
Not Emily
Not Mary
Not Michelle or Kelly or Elizabeth
And even if I have to wait
Have to put up with intolerance and discrimination
I know
One day, I will make it to the top
I'll hang off that ladder with one arm and a leg,
and I'll sing
At the top of my lungs
I MADE IT
ALL
BY
MYSELF!
