Object

I am an object.

I am pages of a magazine,

that stuck together, so

you need to forcefully,

rip and tear me open.

I am a lawn chair,

so you can bend me over 

whenever you like, just because.

I am a drysheet wall that you

can just throw punches at

and put holes in whenever you please.

I am an object and

I cannot argue with you

or tell you to not touch me like that

or tell you to stop because you're hurting me

or tell you that I want to go home.

because after all, 

i am nothing but an object.

I am tired of the saying "boys will be boys". Yes, i understand that boys are children and are not quite mature but children need to be taught that every person regardless of their gender, sexuality, race, religion or color is a human being. we need to educate, not place the blame. I try to hold hope that the future is going to be better for everyone.

its really sad, even educated men behave in this manner. i guess education is more about degree to create bank balance, it has nothing to do with humanity and kindness...phew!!!??

Nice one Maria.
Quite like your analogies and subliminal cynicism certainly comes through.

More please!
