A simple dress
Can be my worst fear
Wearing it
Will be my greatest despair
My heart beats so loud
Like a drum in my chest
Wishing I never hear
The voices I loathe to listen
'Be a proper lady!'
'Walk like a lady!'
Always the lectures
I dreaded to hear
'So perfect!'
'So divine!'
How much I could wish
That they would never say that
'So ravishing!'
'What a beauty!'
Can you leave me alone
And stop all your noise?
'A woman must be flawless
For a man to love her'
Not my purpose
To settle with a man
'She must act like a noble'
Royalty is not what I wished for
Being a princess is not my dream
For I desire to enjoy my life
I just try to stay calm
And move along with the flow
Even if my mind
Is running with the insecurities
Walking around
With painful heels on my feet
Acting like a proper lady
That they always wanted
Just by wearing a dress
Can be a loathing experience
For what they only think
Is how you look in a dress
