My frustrations are at a high
My trust issues are real
Men
What the fuck
Why do
I have to watch my back with any of you
It is crazy that
Strangers
And
Kin
Are alike
Yeah
I see you looking at me
I feel like you think
I am about to be a snack
With your jackal grin
Creepy eyes
Undressing me
Picturing me
It is an unsettling feeling
To be unsafe around men
In general
That’s a fact
Because
I do not understand
What the hell is wrong
What part of the definition of no
These men do not comprehend
Do you not get it
What’s up
Because
It is sad
Walking down the street
Men are crazy disrespectful
Eager to torment
While cackaling unwanted names
Of supposed it inderment
But it is not
Those names are what most women do not care to hear
Like
Psst hey girl
Hey baby
Heyyyyy high yella
Hey you
Red
We have names
I just wish
They speak with respect
And
Not swarm around
As if I am carrying beef jerky
In my back pocket
It is not cute
Real women do not answer because
It is a form of disrespect
And
All we want to do
Is continue on our way
Avoiding any altercations
But instead things get worse
We get called
Bitch
Whore
Dike
Or
Stuck up
Because we do not talk
It is a free world
In which we can chose not to interact
We do not owe anyone any reason
For us not talking back
Especially
With strangers
Who do not know
How to address a woman with respect
