1.He’d say anything to get me out of my shell. 2. His pupils are hard, black marbles and I want to flick him off of me. 3. He is always shuffling through women like they are a deck of cards. 4. It’s just how the dice rolls. 5. I was afraid of falling, of my arms snapping like wishbones. 6. He waits until I’m swaying like a door hinge. 7. My eyes are wide like 8 ***** and he hits me with that same click, roll, thunk of a pool ball table. 8. You are cursing me. When you yell, you are cursing me. 9. “Come out, come out, wherever you are…” 10. I hope the bruises on your legs turn into birds. I hope you get out of here.

A gamble
**** isn't okay & no government or any authority figure should ever be the one to decide if someone was sexually assaulted, or not. In addition, a human's rights, safety, & mental health, should not be taken away or reduced simply because another human or a group of humans have decided so. Kesha Rose Sebert, better known as Ke$ha, is a celebrity who called attention to a situation where she was drugged & ***** & isn't finding justice even after speaking up about it. Though she was denied release of her contract with Sony Music, meaning she now must continue to work with the man who drugged & ***** her, she has the support & help of millions. This is because she's a celebrity & attention was called to it. But what about those who aren't known? What about those too afraid to speak up because it's a hopeless attempt for justice. What about those who did speak up but the case died in a court room or even before it ever made it to a court room, simply because the abuser has higher authority, more power, or is in some way guaranteed to be found excused by the law? What about them? Thank **** she spoke up. But what about everyone else? Justice needs to be served to Ke$ha & also to the many other victims in this world. We shall not fall under those above us from fear or from the indignity of others.

Boys will be boys. Excuse after excuse. “Truth telling in their eyes” We always blame the victim. They shouldn’t have acted like that, they shouldn’t have worn that. No. That’s ******** Until it happens to you, you won’t understand the pain. The constant wondering what you did, to deserve… **** BOYS WILL BE BOYS You won’t lay in bed crying; wishing for the feel of their hands, to just go away. So instead of feeling that. NO. BOYS… will. be. boys. I remember to erase the feeling. I destroyed my skin with razor blades, cigarette burns, scratching myself. I turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain i felt. Boys will be boys? What about that is normal? Thinking that it’s okay to… **** shaming... Victimizing. JUST STOP YOUR LYING You won’t understand until, you’re told by parents and police, that it was your fault. You shouldn’t have acted so friendly, you shouldn’t have teased them. I deserved it because I went swimming? I deserved it because I was nice..? Who in the hell are you to say. Boys will be boys? It’s “okay”? It’s “alright”. Stay away from me. Boys will be boys? Can I excuse myself from hitting you in the face? I mean. Girls will be girls, right? We only want to protect ourselves. If you can make the excuse… That means so can I? NO. NO, boys will be boys and girls will be girls. It’s all ******** We all have our demons. We all go through things. **** will not ever be a joke. Boys will be boys? No. Monsters will be monsters.

Searched for razor sharp teeth To tear at my benevolent heart But my monster Never hid under my bed Or rested in my head His disguise was a smile Stitched To perfection Searched for the man in a mask To raid me But he never stole anything tangible Or that could be replaced His camaflouge skin was Stretched over Empty bones I searched for signs Yellow like the sun Caution But my assailant Looks just like You and I
