Poem Title:
Poem
He stares anywhere but my eyes But boys will be boys and he's just a guy I should smile and be happy Because it means he likes what he sees That's all that should matter to me I shouldn't be greedy Little girl, little girl You don't know much about the real world But little girls in this world learn faster and faster as numbers rise and they get catcalled by guys But things always change Things always range It starts with a whistle and a wink Then things you couldn't even bare to think... "She was only 14" Is this where we've come to? What do you mean? That's too young You all knew Don't play dumb That's too young even if she was ten years older No one deserves to remember those handprints left cold below her shoulder "But what was she wearing?" How aren't you caring! She was 14 for God's sake With her friends at a dance But her skirt was too short and her shirt went too low for him to keep it in his pants He says "She was asking for it" When did those words leave her lips? Was it between "no more" and "stop it"? Her heels were tall and her shirt was tight But that does not give you the right We are not for me; we are women We know this should stop but the question is when How many more will have to suffer through it Before, as a society, we change it? Girls are made of steel these days We will not so easily bend to your ways I wrote this to remind We need to go back to being kind
