We cannot emphasize enough
How it’s a problem, too much to bluff.
Innocence is swept away,
All because the older ones have a say,
A say for us girls, and even the boys.
However, it’s always the girls that are sensualized toys.
At a tender age, be it nine or twenty,
you would think they’d leave us be
We should be open and not forced
Into this over sexualized society where all they see
are curves, chest, hips, legs, and the symmetrical face already.
They crave beauty.
They desire with lust.
Well how can we trust?
We’re so young, we may not even be ready.
For such comments and looks.
We still need freedom, purity, cleanliness, and reading books.
You may compliment, that’s alright.
But don’t visualize and fantasize.
Uncomfortness strikes, and we’re left with the feeling of disgust
Confusion and lack of trust
well how can we trust?
The media advertise, they visualize.
They will influence, they will portray.
Grown ups will push us to grow
To wear heels, makeup, tight dresses, and show
They call us women, when we don’t feel like women
We’re so young, we may not even be ready.
For such comments and looks.
We want acceptance, not a creepy or discomforting glance.
We want to talk, not for the men to think otherwise then stalk.
We want to feel open, without being fantasized
So please do understand, it’s awful to be sexualized.
