"You're so pretty..."
Cat calls choke my confidence
My responses aren't so strong
Skirts always feel too short
Shirts always too long
Some say I was asking for it
Others say it was my clothes
I say it was a misfit
Letting lust fall like dominoes
So here I am stuck screaming
Black and bruised and used
I wasn't asked to be born pretty
If I had been, I would've refused
For **** victims everywhere
Don't stay silent
Speak up
Speak out
