Don't ever tell me

Don't ever tell me I am too pretty to smoke cigarettes.
I'm not too pretty to do anything.
As if having a pretty face limits me and the activities I should partake in.
I will dive into muddy waters and get out covered head to toe.
After, I will still be pretty.
I will ride a motorcycle -by myself -and I may (probably) wreck into torn bushes that tear at my clothes and skin.
After, I will still be pretty.
Don't ever tell a woman she can't do something a man can because we came first.
Without women these man-made limitations wouldn't exist.
Don't ever tell me I am too pretty to smoke cigarettes.
I'm not too pretty to do anything ever.
