never go to the movie theater alone

I told you no 

why didn't you stop?

I said it again and then my heart dropped

my mother said never go to the movie theater alone

and I prayed that when your hand was reaching down

that you were grabbing your phone


I hate being wrong 

oh but this was worse

now when I look in the mirror,

 all I see is a curse


so now 

I don't wear tight tops,

 I don't wear ripped skinny jeans,

I don't like eye contact with men,

I don't like going to the beach


Now I have scars on my legs

cuts that run deep 

But I never had a chance

the climb was too steep


I only wish you would've let me say yes

 before you unpeeled the layers of me 

I might stand tall, but I break easily like a Dandelion in the Breeze
