poetry session - 11/19

the rotten part


When boundaries are crossed
And "NO" is a clear response
The rotten part is
Having to second guess your stance
Just to avoid a violent advancement
The question remains
Why does she have to do the appeasing
When it’s his actions that have caused the grievance?

To a world full of #metoo’s
I pray for the diminishment
Of these instances...
