(He Tells Me to) Smile

He tells me to smile 
but I don't want to 
so I don't 
He tells me to smile 
like it's my job to make him happy 
and keep him comfortable 
He tells me to smile 
as if I owe it to him 
but I refuse 
He tells me to smile 
because he just sees me 
as eye candy 
He tells me to smile 
so I shoot him two free birds 
and yell, "FUCK THE PATRIARCHY!"

Not a Lady

I'm not a "ma'am"
And I'm not a lady
And I don't care if you don't like how I'm behaving 
I don't care if you don't like 
my tattoos and piercings
I don't care if you disapprove 
of how I talk and carry myself 
You're an interloping quidnunc
And you really need to worry about yourself 
Like seriously, mind your business 
I'm not meek
I'm not mild
I'm not prim and proper 
The way you expect me to be 
That's just funny, wild 
I'm not one to keep up with appearances 
That's not me and never will be 
You can call me trashy
Say I'm unclassy 
But you should know that your opinions are irrelevant 
You can complain about me 
But you won't change me 

Break Ups

I was never one to cry 
When I broke up with guys
I just laughed and moved on 
It didn't bother me that they were gone 
Break ups were always easy 
They never hurt me 
Until I met Sina 
and she made a mess outta me
