When did it become the Norm!

Laughing a little to much at your jokes, or smiling, was that the cue?
Holding your hand a little too long, maybe touching it oh so very gently.
Was it the way I answered the phone when you called late at night?
Maybe it was when I stayed late at night to better my living situation.
Oh I'm sorry did I walk to close as we passed each other in the hallway?
Did I take the position that You Offered, and I worked so hard to get?
That outfit I wore and thought it made ME feel good, do the same for you.
The bonus you said I worked so hard for is now called a Gift in return for...
All these things in your mind meant a definite Yes, without a doubt in mind.
Can you please tell me when, what I am feeling, stopped meaning anything?
People not having a voice, When did it become the Norm!

I want you to know that your joke was funny, I'm smiling to be polite.
It's called a hand shake, and I'm a woman my hands are feminine.
At twelve at night I'm sleeping, no need to be wide awake on the phone.
Needed extra money for my family, getting extra hours is what you do.
I was just trying to get through the crowd without being knocked over.
Being polite, staying late, answering the late calls, position earned.
Wanting to treat myself,  really doesn't mean this treat is for you.
A Gift is not something you work for, it's something given because of...
We shouldn't have to tell you these things, it should be common sense.
NO meaning Yes in voice or action, When did it become the Norm!

No, I don't want to go to dinner and go back to your place for a drink.
When did it become the Norm, to wonder does a drink mean just a drink.
No, I will not come to your hotel room tonight for the mandatory meeting.
When did it become the Norm, for boardroom to become the bedroom.
No, I don't want to go on the business trip just for you and me.
When did it become the Norm, to forget what a business consist of.
No, I don't want to give you a massage really quick in your office.
When did it become the Norm, not to be the professional you're suppose to be. 
NO, I won't just stand by and be Scared and Quiet for you anymore!
Not speaking up for yourself, WHEN DID IT BECOME THE NORM!
