Makenzie pay attention
This is how to be a lady
Is what I am expected to be.
A Lady who is just a dog on a leash
But I am a storm that has been unleashed
Grandma Lucy I am a person not a dog
I yell.

Now she has sat in the corner
Oh I am so scared
Yet here I stand
Wandering why she sent me to the corner
Like I care if she is my grandma
She tells me that I am going to Hell
Hell doesn't scare, Heaven does
No one knows what will happen to you up there
Yet in Hell you either get tortured or you do the torturing

Yet here I stand
In this stupid corner
Cursing my Grandma
She thinks she is young.
But don't you only get older?
Makenzie you can come out of the corner if you act like a lady.*
I don't act like a lady because I am not weak.
I would yell
Respect my elders my ****
I respect people who respect me
I don't respect someone who tells me that I am going to hell for liking both genders
Last I checked we can't control that
So I will stand in this corner
I will disobey
Because that is what a lady is
A person to do what she wants
I am not a dog
I will not bow down before your will
So good luck

Yet this corner is imprinted in my mind
Because of how many times
I had to stand there
So yes
I have a corner in which my skeletons lie
Not in a closet but in plain sight
Corners are bad
Yet here I stand
Till I get free
But that is just a dream
I will fuel the fire
By completing my desires.
So for now I will Stand in the corner.
Or until I become a *Proper Lady
