Act Like a Lady

"That is no way to act like a lady"
Straighten up your back.
Close your legs in your skirt,
Boys will look at your pride and joy.

"Why don't you just teach the boys to look away?"
Because it's not lady like.
Be a lady,
Don't act like your brothers.

"Don't be disrespectful, that isn't lady like"
When can I choose what's lady like?
I am not here to please a man all of my life,
Why can I not just be me?

Is my choices not enough for you to be happy?
Daddy said feminism is just in our head
But when I walk down the street and get called sexy,
Then it's just me being a drama queen?

When that guy from that bar calls me sexy and grabs me,
It's just in my head?
When is it my turn to choose what I'm allowed to wear,
I don't want to disappoint but I don't want to be a robot

Don't do that, that isn't lady like.
forget being a lady,
I am no longer a form of this robotic human,
Standing tall, I will proudly be as unladylike as I wish
