the blood of my heart

Nasty Woman (Part two of two)

No.

I will not cross my legs

It's more comfortable like this

Why should I put my feet on the floor

I am in my own house I will

Not only question i will

Defy authority I will

Stand up for what I believe in I

Will do my hair how I please and

I am going to wear this because

I am not a slut and I

Do not look like a slut I look

Like a girl in

A dress and that

Is it and I

Will raise my voice I will

Scream from the rooftops

That I am not a lady I am

A nasty woman I like

My shirt better tucked in so

Hold your criticism I look

Good I don't need you

To tell me otherwise and no

I won't mask my face with

Makeup because my face is the

Face of a warrior the face of a

Strong beautiful bold

Woman my face is the face

Of a nasty woman I am

Dressed up for myself because

This is how I want to look because

This is my confidence because

I am beautiful and do not need to dress up

For anybody but myself and you bet

I am wearing this out because I like it and

I don't care if my knees show in church because God

Loves me regardless and me made

My knees and he made

My chest he made

My breast

So what if my top is a little low my shorts

A little short my legs a little

Long this is my body my temple

My canvas not yours

And my socks

I will not change my hair

Does not need to be perfect in fact

Perfection is the enemy

I will cut my hair

I will shave it off because

No man will ever tell me

How to look and neither

Will you and I will not

Learn to cook becuase I

Am not destined to be in the kitchen I am destined

To be whatever the hell I want to be I am destined

To be a nasty woman and I will

Open my mouth and bellow out

Laughter loud beautiful

Laughter I will sing my joy that bubbles up from my core I will

Never close my mouth I will speak up

Speak loud and not worry

About where my fork is my elbows

Will rest where they want to yes

Even on the table my bra strap

Is none of your concern i

Am not of your concern I will eat

What I want I will order ribs

And steak I will order the largest

Messiest food and I won't

Use a napkin because I

Am a nasty woman so I will

Talk about myself I will brag and I will gloat

I will be who I am whether I am humble or not

Should not matter my nails

Don't have to be colored to be pretty my nails

Are my nails not yours so don't tell me

How to display them and my leggings

Are leggings they are supposed to be tight and I have

A butt so stop being suprised that it is there same for my

Breasts they are there and they will be there so I will

Let them be and you will too becuase my body

Is my body not yours my temple my canvas so stay

Away and a woman

Never asks to get raped it is the man

Who doesn't ask or who ignores the answer

That rapes and I will never let you

Blame me or any other woman

For the actions of a misogynist man and

Wearing a dress that shows my knees

Doesn't end in conception

Doesn't end in pregnancy my jeans

Are imperfect like me my shoes

Shouldn't bother you because you

Don't have to wear them we all

Have skin so why

Should I hide it my legs

Have hair and yours do to its natural

I will not shave I do not want to this is my body

My temple my canvas and I will not be ladylike because

I am a nasty woman
