TW: catcalling, sexual harassment
Girl on the hill
Away from everyone
Girl on the hill
At peace
Girl on the hill
Wind in her hair
Girl on the hill
Book on her lap
Girl on the hill
Tree stump bellow her
Girl on the hill
Standing to leave
Girl on the hill
Turning to see
Girl on the hill
Face turns grey
4 boys on the hill
Smirks at her dismay
Girl on the hill
Walks swiftly past
4 boys on the hill
Whistle loudly and shout
"Hottie"
"Hey wait, give us a minute"
"Look at those legs"
"She's got a fat ass"
"Why are you going so fast"
"Look at those tits"
Girl on the hill
Turns headphones up
Blocks out the "complements"
4 boys on the hill
Louder and louder
4 boys on the hill
Walk after her
Girl on the hill
Heart palpitating
Head racing
She knows
"Today is the day"
Girl on the hill
Picks up the pace
Girl on the hill
Runs like a race
4 boys on the hill
Run whistling and shouting
Run after her
Girl on the hill
Sprints away down
Girl on the hill
Starts to grab her keys
Girl on the hill
Gets off the hill
Unable to breathe
Running
Fear
Or both?
4 boys on the hill
Walk back up laughing
"Whore"
"Ugly anyways"
"As if she had a chance"
Girl on the hill
Runs to the shops for safety
Man in line
Stands too close
Uncomfortably close
Girl on the hill
Doesn't tell her parents
Girl on the hill
Tells some friends the next day
They proclaimed
"Men are so scared of that situation"
"One false allegation could ruin a mans life"
"Well the man in line did nothing wrong"
All she wanted was to warn them,
Maybe just
"I'm so sorry I'm glad you're okay"
Would've sufficed
But a friend of the girl
Feels the need to defend men
Because she grew up as one
Girl on the hill
Didn't leave her house alone for weeks
Doesn't wear shorts or skirts out anymore
Doesn't leave her house without self-defence
Doesn't go to the hill anymore
Girl on the hill
Was too young
And it certainly wasn't the last time
Not all men
All women

My first personal experience. Educate your sons. If you're male reading this, you're better than most already for actually reading this.
Before you get defensive, just take it into consideration.
A false allegation can ruin a mans reputation, but being SAed can ruin or end a girls life.
