Barbie
The movie that welled up her eyes
Exposing the horrible lies
Some comic relief
To the facade of the ‘Ideal woman’ belief
For those out there that understood
I hope you all are good
Though after that beautiful heart clutching experience
It’s okay to take a moment for you
It’s okay this once to feel blue
Barbie
– Our favourite doll
– Our favourite movie
Stood up for womenkind
Ourselves, as humans, helping us find
It showed us the power we hold
Removing the oblivious ‘ blindfold
Barbie quotes that I could not dare to requote
Because I feel the lump in my throat
The anchor on my heart being lifted
Along with the others sitting on the cinema seat
For once, not having the feeling of defeat
We little Barbie girls grew up within a blink of an eye
All shapes, colours, sizes
Yet we’re connected –
Barbie
Now we’re ‘normal Barbie’
The most powerful Barbie
“Because barbie can be anything, women can be anything ”
Thank you Barbie
From a Barbie girl in her Barbie world.
