The Perfect Lady

She just wants to be what everyone else wants her to be.

By E.J SneedPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

She always looks her best because a lady can’t have a bad day.

She doesn’t have any fat because no one can love a “big” girl.

She wears clothes that doesn’t show too much skin because no one likes a whore.

She never swears because no one likes a girl with a dirty mouth.

She never does drugs or drinks because ladies don’t do those things.

She learned to cook and clean to please the man she will marry.

She does everything to be the perfect lady in society’s eyes.
