Daddy's Girl
Go get ‘em Tiger, give ‘em all you got,
you’re as good as any boy, don’t let no
one tell you different. Keep your chin held high,
always go down fighting, it’s a man’s world
Tiger, you gotta be tough, be fearless,
never cry, show no weakness, remember,
you’re as good as ‘em but you gotta fight
harder. Gotta sacrifice. Make choices.
Right now. You decide. You gonna be a
girl, a wimp, or a fighter, a winner,
and make your old man proud? Come on Tiger,
get back in that ring, give ‘em hell, keep your
hands up, quick jabs, light on your feet, come on
Tiger, give ‘em hell, do your old man proud.

I wanted to write a series of poems at different ages in a female's life. This is set in childhood, and was inspired by a TV documentary entitled 'Baby Fight Club'. It was about ambitious parents who forced their children into boxing, kickboxing, cage fighting, etc. One of the children was a tiny little blond girl and her dad made her fight, even though when she was in the ring she was clearly terrified and stood in tears, shaking.
