What I asked

Did I ask to be objectified?
Did I ask to be looked at as less than human
Because you find the way my body curves entertaining
Did I ask for you to stare at me earily.
Did I ask for your unwanted gazes and comments
No, I never asked for it.
But I guess I should be happy.
It just means I am attractive,right?
I mean guys are visual, right?
Boys will be boys
Every guy does it.
It’s perfectly normal.
But I did not ask to be objectified?
Why then when I protest?
I am I told that it’s just a guy thing
It’s fine.
I am overreacting
Somehow I believe all this
It doesn’t matter if I asked or not?
Every guy does it.
I begin to justify it all
Even when it escalates
It doesn’t matter what I asked for or didn’t
Every guy does it
Boys will be boys
It’s perfectly normal
Until it isn’t.
But it’s too late then
I believed it all
It doesn’t matter what I asked
Why would it matter now

When it never did
