I would like to be feminine But not in this world Not in this society Where I can get hurt But will never get heard I would like to be feminine. I want to, you know Wear a skirt on the streets But my fear tells me no And I want to be kind But how could I, really Stop judging men When I can't trust freely Keep your mouth shut Don't show you're smart But don't be stupid either That's not what men want Behave well in society Behave well at home Be a good housewife Never leave them alone That's cosy for them They can leave you, though Whenever they get bored of you Whenever they want to go I am scared to look in a man's eyes At a public space They surround me everywhere There's an ugly look on my face In hope of protection My expression is my approach To avoid men coming Closer than close They stare and judge Try talking to me Old men telling jokes "Just let me be." These are my thoughts As I am unable to react Words won't come out Not one single fact. I just murmur They keep talking Men don't want to hear me They're all just laughing. My hair, my stare, my skirt How adorable How feminine, how naive She's quite approachable So I won't wear a skirt I won't smile for them Poker face is my expression Because I despise men.
