Reduces to an image
like we have nothing else to give
Reduced to an image
on a daily basis
Reduces to an image
like there is nothing else of worth.

I am not your trophy
I am more than my body

Not here to be your pretty face
I am worth more than your gaze
I do not owe you beauty
Let me be a human being

This shit needs to stop
Acknowledge us beyond our looks

Physical beauty isn't currency
I am not more valuable if I am pretty

Not here to be your fantasy
I am not a prize to be won
All these shallow things you treasure
One day they will all be gone

Physical beauty isn't currency
I am not more valuable if I am pretty

Does it even matter if we are wise?
Do you listen when we speak our minds?
Does it matter how hard we try?
Do you hear us when we cry...

WE DO NOT WANT TO BE OBJECTIFIED.

Need to change the way we talk about girls
Stop measuring them on such shallow terms
Stop diminishing them to physical conquests
Stop viewing them as empty objects.

Stop fucking rating us
Stop fucking hating us
This isn't a pageant
And it isn't a compliment
To receive such shallow judgment.
