Proximity in My Vicinity

Hey, you!
Yeah you, don't come any closer
His hand grabs my waist, I tell him "no way sir!"
His eyes are full of hunger
Dude, I'm so much younger!
I kinda thought you were cool
But maybe there's a reason you got held back at school
Go hang out with someone your own age
Like maybe from the Stone Age
See he's just too close in proximity
To my local vicinity
He grabs me by the hand
Now we're alone
My body quickly turns to stone
Help me, I'm frozen
I should've known that I was chosen
To be the wolf's small and weak prey
I should've said, "hey buddy not today!"
Or ever really
What's wrong with you
Is your head full of glue
He finally leaves and switches off the lights
I'm alone in the dark, I stay here 'till night
I don't feel clean gotta wash my new jeans
I go home, race to the shower
How did I let him, be the one in power
I file a restraining order
Bring it to the police
"That's sick!" they say, "we'll put him on a leash"
So from now until infinity
Don't you dare come in my proximity!

Note:
My friend was sexually harassed and I just want people to be aware of how often this happens. By a male or female, it can happen to anyone. Defend yourself, be careful, and most of all TELL SOMEONE.
