PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I should not be judged for the clothes I choose to wear,

be harassed and then be told it's because my legs were bare.

It's not your right to accost me, to tell me if i'm pretty or I'm fit,

I don't care for your opinion, if I did not ask for it.

I don't look the way I do for you, for anyone other than myself,

and I shouldn't have to change it cause you can't keep your hands to your self.

My right to say no should be more important than a boyfriend or my sexuality,

and I should not be pushed or questioned if I don't want you, but you want me.

I should not feel guilty for not feeling the same way,

be criticized or told I'm crule for something I can't change.

I should not have to hear if girls are unattractive and be told about their flaws,

yet called shallow if my reasons for rejecting someone are the same as yours.

A number does not define me and should not be used as such,

by superficial, callous men who say I'm only worth so much.

I should not have to hear myself cheapened by remarks,

to feel I can't walk safely through dark alleys, empty parks.

I should not have to fear the world becuase of something I can't change,

to have to fight for rights that should have always been the same.

Why should I be judged by others for the opinion I elect;

That Nothing is your right from me, other than respect.
