Not your Barbie

I got me

be quiet- talk only when spoken to

Be thin- but not too thin.

Be curvy- but not too thick

Be smart- but don't have a mouth

Get a college degree- don't use it

Be a housewife with kids- become a slave and a servant

Have a personality, interests and hobbies- but don't be too loud

Don't be a gold digger- can't get a job because you became a housewife.

Became a punching bag overnight- terrible housewife

Tried running away- just need to rest for a while.

Actually got away- but this time it did not last.

I paid the price for a crime I did not commit.
