Atometon

a mom inspired poem

You don't own me�"I'm not your atometon

a gadget, an app, with a selection of options.

Sit this way, stand up strait, fix your hair

a doll-like disaster�"in need of repair.

You rule my world�"but I'm not a slave

you can't prescribe every way I behave.

You make some good points�"I try�"and I listen

but it's hard to exist under klieg light inspection.

Maybe you think I'm your other daughter

I have bad news�"I'm a later model.

An idea strikes me that I'd like to proffer:

swallow the pill of free will, Doctor.
