A Woman Body


Body do you see this?

Or even hear this?

How they talk about you as if you are a piece of meat

As if you are something that they can use

As if you are something that can be replace

 

Asking to sleep with you

Asking to touch you

Staring at your butt

Staring at your breast

The disrespect they show you

Don’t they know they should honor you?

Respect and treasure you?

 

You are a woman’s temple

You carried them for nine months

Yet they show no respect

Looking at you with lustful eyes

Instead of looks of admiration

What can you do to show them?

Show them that your deserve to be honored

 

You deserve to be admired

You deserve to be called beautiful because you are just that.
