Dreams
Ive always wanted to be on TV.
I've dreamed about it thousands of times.
lt would be me on a Oprahs couch and we'd be talking about my life she would ask what should the audience know about you
Id say if there's 2 things you have to know about me it would be that I love to be completely honest and to express my opinions
So to be honest, I don't like the way society is raising women
By age 5 they learn how to be sexy before they can spell it
By 10 they are taught how to apply something rather than apply something
By 15 they learn that beauty is a test graded on curves, but if they had them they would fail
By age 20 their concept of beauty is dictated by a box that can easily be turned off
Now let me express my opinions
I hate how make up creates this false perception
Skinny has become the newest sensation
Personality has been backdoored by physical attraction
And I hate how men we sometimes use women claiming we're here for PROTECTION Knowing we really want a night using PROTECTION
You know a day of ATTRACTION ending in RELATIONS
As we lower our pants without HESITATION
So we spoon feed women self hatred
and let them wash it down with lies
And as a man I hate how we are raised too
We are taught that in between a womens legs should only be used for target practice
And That women are goals we must set and challenges to complete
We are encouraged to score score score But when she scores shes a whore
I'm worried that this trend will never end
So this isn't just my expression this is my gettysburg address
To all the women who think its okay to be portrayed like this and all the men who add on to the objectification of the very "thing" that brought them into existence
Please Stop
Then Oprah would say wow jakeel what inspired this I
And id say I have a sister and shes important to me
i just want her to be herself and not worry how society thinks she ought to be seen
Lets change the societal view of women.
