Women objectified
You may say I’m pissed but I am simply aware
That being a woman can cause a scare
At a young age women aren’t prepared
For what life throws at them is to hard not to share.
There was once a time,
When I couldn’t find,
the words to describe what I felt.
Let alone how the situation should be dealt.
My best friend’s dad,
Made me feel real sad,
For what he said was down right rude.
I couldn’t believe what he said he believed was true.
He asked what my educational goal was, sophomore year,
I replied and said a dental hygiene career.
He then laughed and said “the only thing you’ll be good for is laying on your back”.
I sat their speechless thinking how to respond to that.
That friendship ended
As for that objectification didn't.
