Good Girl

This sounds kind of stuck up, but it's really true

I haven’t seen much

Haven’t heard much

My eyes and ears are still clean

But they're slowly losing their innocence

And I don’t know what’s happening to me

 

I’m a good girl

I don’t do bad things

I stay at home

And keep my room clean

 

I’ve never swore right into somebody’s face

Never punched anyone in the gut

I’ve never done anything truly bad

But I am getting there, I’m slowly going up

 

God help me to retain this pure true innocence

Help me to do the things that I ought

Help me be different

Not like anyone else

Just a good girl

Who stays by herself

Author's Note

Okay, okay, It's true. I'm a goody-two-shoes. And there is no denying it. I'm a Christian, and I've been made fun of more times than I can count. But I love God, and he wants me to do the right things. I think nearly everyone has had this choice in life, we've all been innocent, and of course, we're all (even me) gonna change. Be critical, just pleeease don't criticize me because of my faith or beliefs.

this is a wonderful expression I loved ready this poem of yours. I too am a Christian and it takes true strength to stay true to your faith, never let anyone tell you being a "good girl" is boring, it is empowering to hold your ground and will help you be a magnificent woman

I believe in god too :) Good poem, I believe in this and try to be good. I know it's hard for everyone at times - keep faithful. It's sad that you're teased about it too... :(
