1Today I wanna talk about what you see when you look at me,
my curves,
my hips,
the nervousness.
Should I be ashamed?
Because I've heard women are the ones to blame?
When your eyes land on my body
and you suddenly feel a rise,
am I at fault?
It's amazing the shame you feel in you body,
so much so that you would take it out me.
Could blame me.
The shame you feel is not my concern,
I refuse to be unnerved.
In booty shorts and a tank-top.
I'm tired of it.
Tired of asking my friends if I wear this
does it make me a slut?
It's become such a part of our vocab.
Slut
Whore
Bitch
Skank
We've begun to believe them when they tell us we asked for it.
The sexual harassment,
the too long glance
the name calling
and the grasping
and we believe them
because deep down,
we want their attention.
But not like this.
Not this degrading.
No one wants to feel like an object.
