They call her the object of my desire,
Implying she's nothing but a toy
I could play with anytime,
But little do they know
That she's being insulted.

She hides the disgust on her face
With a smile, which is enough
To fool everybody around her.
Everybody, but me because
I've known her long enough
To know what lies beyond that smile.

Not a single word needs to be spoken
On what I need to do about this,
For I could already tell what
I need to do, and that is to make
Everyone see her for what she truly is.

She is not an object or a thing,
But a someone, and that someone
Is a human being, complete
With the ability to make her own
Decisions, someone who is my equal.

They better take back
Calling her an object
Because I will gladly defend
Her worth as a person,
And make sure she gets
The good treatment she deserves.
