little ladies

All you little ladies
So fragile and delicate
With your fragile hearts
And fragile minds
We keep you
behind these guarded doors
In these guarded homes
to protect you from the outside
The dirty men
With their dirty eyes
It’s not you, it’s them.
We keep you protected
From their dirty stares
You’re so fragile
With your fragile hearts
And your fragile bodies
They tell us about our bodies
our minds and our hearts
While our bodies move mountains
And our fragile hearts take
Pain like no other
While we balance the trauma
Of the world.
All you little ladies,
Have no idea, what the world is
It’s a bad place
With bad people
They tell us about the world
And we watch these men
Act like they’re our protecters
Our saviors
When it’s them
we need protection from.
