I am a Person

I am a person who has feelings.

I am more than a body to be used for your amusement.

Why can't you see me for who I am,

and not who you want me to be?


I am a person who has desires

I am not a soulless robot.

Why can't you make me feel desire for you,

and not just feel you in me?


I am a person who wants to be respected -

not treated like something to be thrown away.

Why can't you respect me

and my decision to say no?


I am a person who wants to be loved -

to be loved and cared for.

All I ask of you is this:

Why don't you treat me like a person?
