You Should Smile More
“You should smile more”
Said to women
By men to satisfy their needs
“You’re asking for it”
Said to women
By men who can’t control themselves
“You’re an attention seeker”
Said to women
By men who just can’t take the blame
For being attracted to the confidence in women
And for the power women hold
