Teenage boys staring,
Thinking ***** thoughts.
Teenage me wishing
They would just go away.
A picture of me
In a dress now ruined,
Because of their
Disgusting thoughts.
"You wish she
Was taking it off,
Don't you?"
They asked my friend.
"You wish you
Were in getting that
Dress, don't you?"
They asked him again.
I was angry,
Hurt, and humiliated.
I took it out
On my family.
My parents became
Angry and upset
With me and my
Friendship paid the price.
No longer allowed
To speak to him,
See him,
Or be friends.
That was the
Price of teenage boys
Sexualizing an innocent
Photo of a broken girl.
