an improperly used body

by @nv1212

i fling my hair in your face as to catch your attention i purse my lips in an attempt to grasp a glimpse from you i open my mouth and laugh extravagantly to boost your ego i let my cardigan fall off my shoulder to show you i’m easy going i spin around to lure your eyes in i bend over to pick up your wallet that you dropped on the ground i hand it to you with a pearly white smile and captivate your attention i use my body in a way that it was not meant to be intended i use my body to boost my ego while blaming other women for boosting men’s egos i know what i am doing but i cannot stop i want the attention my body brings me “can’t you get attention in other ways” they ask yes but i feel my body is the only way and this is the problem in our society and i too am guilty
