Roses & thorns

Sexual Assault

Tell me,how often do you catch men looking at you inappropriately,and it makes you mad because you don't like it?
How many times have you felt like a sex object or some sort of toy?
Unfortunately,this happens everyday to so many people.
It happens to them so frequently that they say 'just let it be'.
It affects and takes away so many lives on a daily basis that everyday we hear new cases.
We are called sluts,skanks,whores & more for wearing certain types of clothes.
We are blamed for 'wanting it',
For 'flaunting it'.
We are often asked to hide our cleavage & our thighs,because it makes men want to touch us.
How dare you?
How dare you put your unwanted hands on my body?
My body is not your property.
It's not your's.
It's mine.
I said 'no' but,unfortunately,you heard 'go'.
Your filthy hands traveled up my skirt & i quivered.
I shivered.
I felt suffocated,embarrassed,ashamed and so devastated.
I felt numb.
No amount of pain has felt so agonizing.
Stop looking at me as if i'm a piece of meat.
All i'm asking for,is a little bit of respect and some privacy.
Why dont you care?
Can't you see that i'm scared?
I could walk around wearing clothes that reveal most parts of my body and you still cannot touch me because i am not your property.
I am not your's.
No means no.
And when i ask you to leave,just go.
Just go.
We spend our days and nights locked up in a room without sleeping,without eating & without drinking.
We cry,
Mascara stains on my pillow don't lie.
We feel ashamed after becoming a victim of sexual assault because we know that we are not as pure as before.
It's sickening how people treat us as objects and toys.
We went from playing with toys to being considered as toys ourselves.
We are girls.
We are women.
We are humans.
We are not something that you can use and then throw away.
We are not objects.
We are not a burden.
So start treating us like humans and give us our rights.
We need them.
We deserve them.
We may look like roses,
Beautiful & sweet.
But it's time we show you our thorns.
