Don’t tell me how to dress

 Don’t tell me how to dress….


Don’t tell me how to dress…

Sir

It’s my freedom 

My own choice 

You ain’t goin to control me….


I’m not sure if 

You’re tryin to help…

I don’t wanna use your suggestion…

I understand I’m representin us

However let me express myself…

You ain’t goin to mentally abuse me 

Today…

Not ever….


Cos who the fuck told you 

I should wear somethin else…

I’m not your plaything….

I’m not your slave….

I’m a person…

I’m a woman….

If you got an issue,

Then we ain’t goin to be together….


I’m not changin for anybody….

You can’t turn me into somebody I’m not…

Like I can’t change you….


It seems like you’re insecure…

Why are you jealous of your own woman?

Well right now 

I’m not your woman anymore…


You can say I’m sorry 

All you want….

But hell nah….

We ain’t goin back….


You tell me 

How to dress in a certain way…

I’m not wearin hoochie….

I’m not revealin my skin….

Yet if that’s the case,

I’m stayin home…

I’m not goin with you….

I’m not your girlfriend….


I hope I don’t have second thoughts 

After I stood my ground….

No man should tell what to wear…

You should be able to be yourself…..

A real man should love you for you 

Regardless of your style….


I understand 

A man like his woman classy 

Beautiful who light up the room

But at the same time 

She brings out the shine….

She’s her own star….

She does respect herself….


Just don’t tell me how to dress…

Or I will break up….

To me it’s a red flag….

Another sign of abuse….

If I let you do that,

I’ll question myself….

I’ll ask myself, am I not good enough for you?


And it’s bad….

I don’t wanna change myself for 

A man who doesn’t value me….

He wants power over me

It ain’t romantic….

If I go outside 

Wearin his idea on my body 

My eyes will be filled with misery….

Like an Idiot I end up forgivin him….

It’d be a pattern….


I don’t want that…

I gotta have a backbone 

For my heart’s sake 

To say no….

To say no I’m not doin that….

Whether you love me for me

Or we’re out…

Yes I will feel hurt 

Though I have integrity….


Don’t tell me how to dress

Don’t change me….

I shouldn’t have to  sacrifice 

For being that “perfect woman”


So no 

I won’t dress up 

The way you want it…

I don’t care if you mad 

If you cry….


No 

Don’t tell me how to dress…

I know how…💯©️Kai C. 10-19-26


If you smack my face

 If you smack my face,

I’ll be leavin…

This isn’t love….

Love shouldn’t be a 

Bruised cheek…

And if someone told me 

To stay, to endure 

Then this person wants me 

To be underneath the grave….


You hate me

You hate my guts…

Don’t gaslight me

Don’t manipulate me 

A major smack can break 

A trust…a bond…

It will make me look at you 

Differently…


You ain’t a real man

Masculinity doesn’t mean 

You can abuse women however you want 

Especially when you’re not gettin your way….


Why would you wanna hit someone?

In fact, you wanna kill someone….

For what?

I don’t wanna be miserable….

I want peace…

I can live without you….


So, 

If you smack me,

And you apologize 

With flowers 

And the things I like 

I will throw them away…

Fuck your grand gestures 

Cos really,

You’re fake as hell….

Don’t text me 

Don’t call me on different numbers….

I will have a restrainin order…


If you threaten my new man

To stay away from me 

And he listens to your nonsense 

I’d be upset 

With him 

Cos why would he believe every word 

Without gettin the truth from me?

What if he doesn’t fall for my scars?

And thought I made it up?


Forget him, too…


Oh, if you smack my face

I’m gone…

And I won’t come back to you 

You hate me 

Don’t say you love me

You hate me….


It’s not how you dominate me 

It’s not how you show your affection…

You truly hate me….
