Taming The Other Shrew

By: Juliet Stewart Austin

So you tried, to shame me into being

to stifle my voice ...

to make me into that which I cannot,

Unlike the Day's of old, I have a voice.

I cannot be what you want me to be

I must be free to express that which in me cries out

for a mate worthy of my free expressive state.

He who knows how to harvest a wild Child like me

Don't bother trying to tame this Shrew.

A Women of my caliber you cannot expect

to follow along meekly, blindly

surely you jest!

Free to express, that which in me harkens to be released,

I'm not a caged bird waiting to be petted, I fly freely wings outstretched

The beauty that is me; cannot be caged, tamed, shaped, and molded.

If your idea of Woman is to lay,

and not expect that she be of mind and thought?

Harken hence, as I'll only say this once

It is you who are not worthy of me.
