***trigger warning: mention of rape***
Let me paint you a picture of the moment I realized degrading women wasn’t a thing of the past.
as I watched my father cheat on my mother
And then blame her for his problem.
When I discovered a guy would tell me anything
just to knock another notch on his bed.
Like fireworks behind my eyes
That I was a Queen if it was your sheets
Or a whore if it was someone else’s.
And when I decided no to sex before marriage?
To the man who whistled to me from his car
And I burned those jeans.
Now you’re asking for attention.
And he’ll think you’re too easy.
His seem to matter more than yours do.
Just find a happy medium.
Though, these days the medium is self-defense
And now you’re the perp with the restraining order.
