I’m sorry that all that we really ask is to live our lives
And not be harrassed
I’m sorry that you can’t control yourself but maybe for once think of somebody else
To the little girl crying under the covers cuz “men can’t help it” as she’s had to discover
Years later, she works up the courage to reveal her truth, to expose the pig who took her innocent youth
But The world turns sour quickly and is fast to accuse, the little girl much too naive to refuse
They blame her clothes, her looks, or even her actions
“He is a man, he can’t help his attractions”
But what about when she screamed let me go
When she bruised from how he touched her below
They shrug it off, they ignore her pain
Say they care, then quickly forget her name
She gets no justice, her rapist walks free
She still flinches when touched, but that they don’t see
One fateful day she decides she can’t take it anymore
Takes a bottle of pills then falls to the floor
So next time you choose blame and criticize
Think of your mother, your sister, your daughter and empathize

We are often told to follow a certain norm prevalent in society, it’s like there’s this certain checklist or labels for something to be ‘perfect’. We wait for society to judge us, hanging on by a string of likes on our instagram page. But, do we really need others to define OUR perfect? Moreover, don’t our true selves lie beyond those rugged, old and boring standards? Hold yourself up and look in the mirror. Choose to be free.

Men’s Rights: Balancing the Gender Equation

Men’s Rights: Balancing the Gender Equation

We live in world where it is our right to fight for injustices we see happen to others or ourselves. We protest, we riot, we demand for change and in time, when we all come together, no one can oppress us. We create a spark through spreading information through articles like these, that inspires others to act. I, like may of you, have witnessed people being put down for nothing but their gender. If you believe in true gender equality, you must include all the variables in the equation, like the Men’s Right’s Movement, and hear the male side of the story.

RAPE, why is it normalized?

RAPE, why is it normalized?

RAPE,searches state that 91.6%of the world’s rape cases are left unreported,and this is one thing that hurts me the most,there are several reasons to why women do not report their rape,it can either be that they are ashamed, cultures, traditions and several more. If they are not going to speak up, it’s about we do! Mind you there are several types of rapes,some that have moved me quite a lot(payback rape,LGBTQ rape, custodial rape,gang rape,child rape,prison rape,serial rape,date rape). Hopefully having my poem on this site will open up a few eyes and declare victory for us women,and also establish a secure future for the kids playing hopscotch around town.
