MynameisjOhn - Isn't Dinner Nice? lyrics

[Poetry] – Denise Chaila I have promised myself that the only time I will ever allow myself to be seen and not heard is when I am leading by example And I am screaming until my voice bleeds Because I know what it's like not to have one I am screaming for the woman with acid burns on her face because if I can't have you nobody can Yes ALL women But no you DON'T understand Until you wonder if It's your fault cause you smiled at him And I know he touched you But how many drinks did you have? Why did you wear that skirt? Sure, He's only a man So I'm screaming for the seven-year-old girl getting ready for her wedding night Right now For the teenage boy on Twitter learning to substitute the word Woman With four letter words in his vocabulary Because Bill Cosby is not an anomaly Doctor Huxtable is a fictional character And Jekyll has been known to Hyde So a year down the line We're still singing/seeing blurred lines Because it took 25 women for the world to listen one time Because the only thing he needed to do to get those pictures from you at thirteen Was tell you that you were beautiful Because The only thing he needed to do when you were too afraid to go all the way Was call you one of three four letter words And let the grape vine have its say Because In vino veritas And you are too used to secrets Too used to shrinking Because sometimes cat calls come with a car stalking you home in your uniform Because you're "old enough" Because boys will be boys and he's never met a girl who wasn't dangerous Because I know too many women Who learned how to hold a secret inside of them Before they were seven Hold it over and over again, and learn not to cry when they pa**ed the rice that night Look their demons in the eye And say isn't dinner nice? Isn't it so nice? Isn't it... Nice? END
