poem for chapter ten

Yeah I know I'm Barbie
Yeah I know I can do everything
Yeah I know I'm realistic
Yeah I know I'm supposed to inspire

Have you thought maybe I'm tired?
Most people can only handle two or three jobs
I've lost count at this point
It's been years and year of working

Inspiring young women is important
Even with my unrealistic body
I know I had this role for a reason
Even if I only fit one demographic

Can some else do it?
Anybody but me
I am so done
Have been for years

Maybe someone not blonde
Maybe someone not unreasonably skinny
Maybe someone who just looks different
But please God just not me
