I am a girl
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

I know not everyone is like this but some are. This poem talks about sexual abuse and sexism. I just want to remind people that they madder but not so much where they can take advantage of others.
