and see only a statistic.
Someone you'll never meet --
a tragedy, a commodity
A child bride.
I dare you to look at me
Without pity, fatigue, dismissal.
I dare you to look at me
as more than a poster
for your cause
A promise you won't keep.
I dare you to rethink
what it means to look at a girl --
Not a burden,
not an object
But the answer.
