Speak up
You are walking on the street
And he suddenly catches your eyes
More like your bare legs
Thinking he can feast upon your thighs.
You try hiding your face
But it’s no use, he’s caught up with your pace
You face a million thoughts
Fight or flight?
You feel his grip getting tighter
And then a sudden jolt of pain
And then come the tears
Whether of remorse or of rage
You pushed him off as hard as you could
And ran as fast as your legs could take you
Ask yourself, ‘Is this a lone fight?
Do I know wrong from right?’
But those were the clothes of your choice
Don’t let them kill your pride
You are who you are
And there’s no shame in that
And it’s ok to ask for help
And it’s apparent to end up hurting
Opening up doesn’t come easy
But there’s no harm in trying
Shut your eyes and think for a while
Is this how you deserve to be treated?
Find your valor my dear, if you shy out now
You’re far too short sighted
Honey your tears are made of diamonds
Your skin shines like the sun
Your heart purely gold
Your will as strong as the ocean
I implore you, fight.
Your voice will save lives
