I thought I knew him,
but you never truly know anyone
especially a man.
because I am a woman,
and my shoulders are provocative,
my hormones are gross,
and my sexuality is shameful.
and men can treat me as such;
shameful, gross, and sexual
even though I am just trying
to walk home safely.

not my usual poem topic, but I just want anyone who has gone through sexual harassment of any kind, to know you are not alone. I am fortunate enough to say I have never been the victim of such violence, but I am so scared for my future. I am scared to walk alone at night, and I feel that however small my platform may be, it is still important to speak about these things.

I love you all, stay safe and know you are not alone, and it is never your fault.
