She Doesn'T

She doesn't ask you to stare Yet your pupils linger longer than they should Making her feel like a foreign object that needs to be understood She doesn't dress up for you Yet you conjure her character from her choice of clothing You draw your conclusions and assume you are all-knowing She doesn't need your opinion Yet her appearance seems to be of great interest Since you have chosen your sole purpose on this earth to be ignorant She doesn't ask to be touched Yet you always presume that her body is a form of property Her body is HER BODY but this is a truth you choose not to see And if you think for a second That she needs your final word To be who she is And to do what she can While I have your attention May I be one of many to mention... SHE DOESN'T!
