I am a girl

I will be a women

WIth less pay

less respect

less options 

less hope

less freedom

It's easier to be controlled that way

I am a girl that understands sexism

That understands I will always be put down 

for my body

my hopes

my hopes

my dreams

my choices

what I wear

what I don't

I'm a girl that will

always be a stereotype

always be an object for use

always be unloved

and never be beautiful 

I am a girl

that has always been told

don't cry because you can't be sad

Stop being angry the can't know your opinions 

Stop being scared they can't know you have fears

Deal with how the world is a girl can't change it

I wear too much makeup I try to hard

I don't wear enough I'm ugly

I wear too much clothes I'm a tease

I don't wear enough I'm easy

I'm either fat or starved 

but still, I'm used

I try to be perfect and still 

I'm always at the bottom

Every day I walk out of my room 

my neighborhood

my bed

I always wonder will I come back

alive

happy

untouched

but isn't it impossible 

to go out into the world when you are a worthless doll

always a lifeless object

To come back

alive 

happy

untouched

why do I have to worry about this

because I am an object

only used by people that need me for a short period of time

I will never be a person to everyone 

not them

not the people who have killed me

tortured me

Made me so sad where I lost hope

and I just believed the stereotypes

believed the world

believed the people  

believed there will never be change

believed that I am an object, not a person

But I AM A GIRL so I'm an object to you
