Life of a Lady.

Everyone told her what to wear,
what length it should be
how free it should be on her

She is not to seduce him with how she sits,
her legs should be closed tightly
with her skirt tucked in between her laps

She is not to walk alone
and should never walk in the dark
For all these beckons him

She is not to smile and talk to him
but she is insulted if she ignores him
A delinquent is what they would call her

She must be friendly
but not too friendly
He might see this as affection and force himself on her

She is told how to act,
every second of her life
What not to do because she is always a prey

But no one ever tells the predator
No one tells him that his manhood
should be tamed

No one tells him that she isn't an object
to be played or owned
Not a conquest to win
No one told him that her friendliness
doesn't need him to want her

Sometimes being a woman is hard
They take the blame for most things that shouldn't have been
If only self control or self discipline is activated
She's always told what to and what not to do
Yet the actions of the man is usually excusable
When they should also be held accountable

So much truth in your words. A beautiful poem, beautiful and lapidary as the truth.

You must be a really special kind of person to truly understand what a woman is, @olawalium .

I've seen and spoken to people who didn't value women and treated them like toys, and that was kind of horrible.
A condition that is incurable.

It's really horrible to treat women that way...as toys when they have so much potential. It's not fair. It's really incurable. People who treat women as toys need a mental shift.

Thank you so much my friend.

I have dealt with one and it make a big impact on my life.
I know, @olawalium that they have their own demon to deal with. I am lucky that the demon has removed himself from me, or else I'll suffer just by living with him.

I am more than glad he made his first move. Because I am too coward to leave people, because I am afraid to hurt their feelings. In the end, I am the one who suffer, and my mental health was ruined.

When I think it back, looking back or thinking back at his face might make me puke. Lol. 🤭🤭🤭
That's how bad he made me feel towards him.

Wow. I am really sorry about all you went through. It takes courage to leave such a person and I am glad he gave you a reason to leave.

No, he walks away, @olawalium . Not me. I never abandoned the people I loved. That was the issue I was having. I find it difficult and don't want to offend them, so I typically stay even though it makes me emotionally sick.

You would have to put yourself first going forward because everyone does the same. Whatever doesn't sit down well with you or affects your mental health, you have to stay away from it no matter what because these people are not loyal. If anything happens to you, they would easily move on.

That happened in the past. Which I will use as a learning experience.
Not to worry, @olawalium .
I'm fine now. 😊😊😊

She knows that what you have written is true
Yet she chooses not to speak,
For she knows they already have the lies they claim to be the truth.
