To most people,
Girls are just objects,
Existing for their pleasure,
Existing to be sexualized.
We are people too.
Just because we like dressing up
Doesn't mean we're doing it for a boy.
Just because we're trying our best
Doesn't mean we're doing it for a boy.
Sure, some of us may
Be dressing to impress others.
But most of us are doing this
For ourselves
And other girls who need it,
Who need the support.
We shouldn't have to
Be scared of walking at night
From our friend's house
To go back home.
We shouldn't have to
Criticize ourselves
Because of how others view us
Just because we're females.
We are beautiful creatures,
Not objects,
And you can't control us.
You can't say
We're doing things for boys
Or for attention,
Because we do these things
Simply for ourselves.
