Poem Title:
Poem
There's a movement going on But it shouldn't have taken this long Me too, Me three, Me four, Me five Sexual harassment and rape has affected our lives. Tortured in silence How we've forced ourselves to hide the violence. Oh he just likes me this kind of thing is normal An unwanted sexual advance made to seem formal. You're uncomfortable but it's not sexual harassment. You tell yourself I know that's not exactly what he meant But what happens if it happens again Will you keep it bottled or tell a friend Will she say me too Or hold you accountable for what has happened to you You know the type that will say you had a choice You shouldn't have dressed like that making your clothes, your voice Like you're begging to be victimized When his intentions are already in his eyes What about the girl who was raped In his eyes she didn't have a face He didn't care about the hurt he caused He didn't care about how she lost it all When he decided to take a sacred part of her being Screams, cries and kicks to him they had no meaning Me too is how I felt When I heard the tales from someone else Like you are not alone Their actions can't possibly be condoned But we sit here with tears in our eyes Silence forcing ourselves to go blind Like nothing ever happened When deep inside we're snapping Souls enraged with no courage to speak up Thinking what has happened is not enough Not enough to get the justice you need Not enough to wipe the emotional scars clean
