Be A Man

I am frustrated.
I'm tired of people thinking,
That I am the prey.

Sure my frame is small,
And I am a young woman.
But I'm more than that.

I'm not an object.
I'm a person with feelings.
I know the word no.

I don't show too much.
My clothes always cover me.
I am not your boo.

So please when we pass,
Don't look at me like I'm meat.
Or honk your car horn.

Do not make cat calls,
Being loud and obnoxious,
Or whistle my way.

Be a Gentalman.
Strike up a conversation.
Show me your respect.

If you treat me right,
My attention will be yours.
So be a real man.

A man who respects.
One who knows women aren't toys.
Stand out as a man.
