“It is a very scary time
for young
men
in America,
where you can be
guilty
of something
you may not be
guilty of.”
- Donald J. Trump
It is a very scary time
for young
women
in America,
where you can be
assaulted,
raped or
murdered
by someone
who will never receive
any blame for
their actions.
It is a very scary time
for young
women
in America,
where we are
given freedom
and told to
express ourselves
in any way we desire
but a dress too short
makes a rape
justifiable.
It is a very scary time
for young
women
in America,
where we try to speak out
but our voices
are muffled
by male representatives
who don’t respect us
ones that crucify our actions
and try to remove
our bodily autonomy.
It is a very scary time
for young
women
in America,
where we must learn to accept that change
is hard to come by:
it’s been one hundred and seventy years since we first met,
yet our rights
are still questioned.
We’re told to stay in the home; to cook, to clean, to breed.
I’m tired of having to prove
I’m worth more than
just a piece of
property.
