What Being a Lady Means
I remember when i was little
My mom always told me
Sit straight, don't grouch
Eat with your mouth closed, don't talk with your mouth full
Be feminine
Don't talk too much, people don't like that
Don't run, you'll get sweaty
Don't do this, don't do that
Every time i asked why
Same answer everyday
Ladies don't do that
Being a lady means pretending to be someone your not
Being a lady means lying
Being a lady means you'll always be stuck in this cloud of green trying to breath
While the only thing you can do is pretend
While the only thing you can do is put on an act
Just to achieve others perspective of what being a lady means
They say be your truest self to achieve happiness
Accept others differences and your own
Don't judge a book by its cover
If you judge….
Then..
You shall be judged
But then again all we know is to known for our mistakes
Why is this a race
Why are we so caught up with our mistakes that we cant see the beauty in them
To learn to be perfect
To forget that there is no such thing
To be in the end of our despair ready to die in the hands of life
In the hands of…
What being a lady means
It's simple really
There is no such thing as being a lady
Because if being a lady is being perfect while all we do is lie and put on an act
Just to be accepted by what our poor society’s picture of a lady is
If this is all i'll be living for then let me stop all this mess and die for my lies
But yall shall rot for the pain you've caused to an innocent girl full of life and a whole bunch of cries.
