Once the darkness comes about
Our senses have to heighten
The feeling of going out alone becomes too much about fear
No longer about fun
We have to make sure we constantly protect ourselves against predators
The predators who only view women as a sexual object
Cat calling around every corner
The predators who don't care about ruining a life
For fifteen minutes of action
No longer being able to go to grocery stores in shorts
Without someone coming up and hitting on you
Then being upset that you aren't grateful for their words
Like the world should revolve around their opinion
Taking away our alcohol because it makes us provocative
But the boys can have their fun
The boys will be boys mentality carrying on to younger generations
Why are we not teaching boys to be gentlemen?
Why are they allowed to sexually assault us but it be on us
For what we as women decide to drink or wear or do with our bodies?
Apparently today yes means yes
But conveniently enough no also means yes
I've had enough of it being the victims fault
There needs to be more punishment for the ones committing the crime
More justice for the victims being wronged in this system
This isn't just about Brock Turner but also about white privilege
I'm tired of the black men being wrongly accused
Getting harsher sentences than the white men who have been found guilty
Who cares if you didn't like steak anymore, Brock
You deserved to be in prison a lot longer than you were
This right here is the reason most rape cases don't get reported
Did anyone ever think of that?
To those who still have to deal with their attackers:
I'm sorry
To those who blame the victim and not the perpetrator:
It's time to change your attitude
To those who agree with me:
Continue to raise your voice
Share these words with someone who needs to read them and spread the word.
