when im taking the bus
at night
in november
i shouldnt have to worry about catcalls
i shouldnt have to be scared to put in headphones
because what if someone sneaks up behind me
i shouldnt have to tell three people where i am
so they can make sure im
ok
and safe
its not what i was wearing
i had a sweater and a puffy jacket,
a scarf and a toque
just because im a young woman
doesnt mean i should deal
with this
crap.
