I don't need a support system
Lifting me into prop position
What I need is a man of action
I need my attraction to you
Driving me down all those dangerous avenues
Lions and tigers tearing at their food
I know the gossip flies around at breakfast
One of them reins is in your hand
Where do you get the **** off thinking I was there at the party
'Cause all my friends feed me the evil reasons
Why you and I should not be friends?
Let's think this whole thing through
Tell me, just what the hell is a lover supposed to do?
I got the wrong reaction, a slap in the face from you
This is such a stupid picture
Wrap me in a steak
Why don't you throw me in the panther cage
And maybe then I'll like you better
(No way!)
I don't need a support system
Lifting me into prop position
What they make is a separation of beauty from attitude
What satisfaction is left when all you do
Tells everyone you're acting untrue?
This is such a stupid picture
Light a cigarette
Why don't you stub it in the carborateur
And maybe then you'll sell me something
(No way!)
I don't need a support system
Put your hand on my heart and listen
What I need is a dedication to last me all the way through
Pointing the finger, I'm counting on loving you
Over and above the passion
I'm connected to you

hmmmm. Well. What can I say. It's a very novel "poem."

enjoyed your poem.
It told me the author needs to get some counseling. It is a good thing you know, if a person can not ask questions of an unbiased guide and be questioned by the same then they can get too focused and miss the forest for the trees.

Sorry. It doesn't make much sense to me, but that may be because I'm a lot older than you. Look up lyrics of Screaming Citizens. They might think you are onto something . Anyway, don't stop writing. You may be touching a nerve with your generation.

The poem isn't bad actually its pretty good. The problem is it feels like a roller coaster relationship. Is this the feeling you wanted to evoke? Just curious.
Overall it flows smoothly, I began to expect the (No way!)
Good job

Liz Phair's early stuff is pretty good. She's gotten mellower and more commercial with age, regrettably.

Some of the lines are contradictory to themeselves, and wrapping in steak? No

I like the premise....it gives me the impression that you are in love with a man, but that you are angry, upset and frustrated.
