"Get home before it's too dark. You cannot wear clothes like that in a public park! When you're out, stick close to your friends. And please for god's sake cover yourself! Don't make eye contact with strangers. Steer away from all those men, they are nothing but danger." You taught me all this since I was a kid. You taught me fear and corrected me in every single thing I did. "It isn't his fault" you said "boys will be boys." You silenced me all my life and not once did you let me raise my voice. Why didn't you teach him to look at me in the right way? Whatever wrong he did no one cared, he was forgiven straight away. You always taught me he was a predator, When you should have taught him that I am not prey.

not prey.
Boys will be Boys Boys will chase those twirl skirts Better Pull Yours Down Before they rip you to the concrete mattress Boys have no self control Being but mindless humans of ill decency Boys will spew with slugged catcalls and woos But your skirt wasn't modest was it? Boys have no self control Better you know that now Rather than when they excuse themselves from all their actions       -I'm Sorry We Can't Control (Own-up to) It

I'm Sorry We Can't Control It
*My shirt was too low. It does not matter If I fought back Or said no I was asking for it, My shirt was too low.*
