Woman......too silent As a girl touched In the wrong way I was silent A teenager touched I was angry and silent As a young woman touched No respect was given Still silent As a woman too silent To demand the respect now On the street the young men "Pssst" No respect I am given Silent again No Not again....... Not ever again I will shout.....I want to be heard No more silence....I must be heard Don't touch me....not in that way Don't touch my daughter.....she isn't a plaything I will not be I will not be Silent No not silent Anymore

Well said.
I will not be
Silent
No not silent
Anymore
powerful affirmation of having the courage to fight back my dear Bajanshay.
Yes you shouldn't have been silent since the first act of inappropriateness. But I am sure glad, YOU ARE NOT SILENT ANYMORE.|
INHUMANITY IS A CRIME THAT SHOULD HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE NOT ONLY FROM THE VICTIMS, BUT THE LAW, AND EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD.
THANKS FOR THE SHARE
