Chivalry is dead...?

August 22, 2009
By Anonymous

Why is it so wrong?
To stand up for whats right?
To cause a little disruption
Over something worthy of a fight?

Why do I get scolded,
For the wrongs that they have done?
the lies that they have told,
the respect they've given to none

Why Am I the magent,
To the ones who have no morals,
the ones that dont uphold,
No Chivalry, purely deplorable

Am I the only female,
Who has the guts to try and defend?
Myself and all the lines,
that guys have crossed with no apparent end?

What am I supposed to do?
When someone attacks my pride?
Let them cause me physical pain?
Just cower? tremble? hide?

yeah right, if that what I'm to do,
To be accepted by this world,
Then I am destined to be shunned,
I am forever to be a lonely girl.

You see unlike this messed up world,
I follow through, No lies,
If you dont believe me,
you can look into my clear, NOT bloodshot eyes

Does it bug you? Well thats to bad!
I am a stubborn girl.
I won't let you get away
With the disgrace of hitting a girl.
