You'Re Not The Boss Of Me Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

It was easy enough to see
that she was very angry with me
I had put her in a horrible mood and
she wanted a few things understood.

'You're not the boss of me,
don't tell me what to do;
don't try to take care of me
if I've not even asked you to.

I'm a little old for this;
don't need my daddy's hand,
my momma's shoulder to cry on,
or somebody to help me stand.

A fully capable woman,
has no need to be overprotected;
it's rude to step in and take over,
and makes me feel disrespected.

I'm vocal and independent, with a
strength and mind of my own,
all you're doing is pissing me off
when your attention is overblown.

I may be older, but a whole lot wiser,
and you really need to see,
my age is not a sign of weakness
and you are NOT the boss of me.'
