#nofilter
/slap/
put down your leg
/glare/
don’t make
that face
smile
lower your tone
are you angry?
stop
ladies are nice
ladies are sweet
ladies speak softly
and are well-mannered
and poised
i am not a lady
don’t get me wrong
be a lady
if you want
but don’t make me
struggle
against something I’m not
I cry out when I’m mad
swear when I’m not
(i’m working on it)
I’ll shout
because I can
and will say it as it is
but most importantly,
I am myself
unfiltered
through and through
i’ll sit with my leg up
i’ll grimace
just for fun
i’ll SHOUT
when i’m feeling
and be MAD
because i CAN
i’ll embrace every moment
and emotion
to the fullest
because that’s just me
and i’m not ashamed
