respect me

---

It's not always about love, it has nothing to do with romance
Pick-up lines don't exactly make my heart dance
I'm not waiting by the phone all day, frowning when it's not you
It seems that you forget that I have a life of my own too
I too have a brain; ask me a question I'm smart as a whip
My heart is not a toy so don't try to play with it.
I don't giggle and flip my hair when something confuses me
So don't act surprised when I express my opinion freely

And stop calling me "baby" all the time, I have a name--please use it.
The world can see me unlike you who only cares about amusement
And when I'm with you stop staring at all those random girls passing
I can't even get a word in cause your music's forever blasting.
I'm a woman, yes it's obvious but it seems you need reminding
Treat me with respect or get out of the way and stay behind me.

[Coyote Poetry]

Good wisdom in your poem. Young and old men need to read. I had five sisters who taught me to respect woman or get beat up. A outstanding poem.
