"So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me, because I, too, am fluent in silence."- R Arnold


My eyes are up here.
Your’s are on my dress.
Let me make myself clear,
My dress is not for you.
I am not wearing it,
So you can whistle at me on the street.
Hi. I’m not your dog.
Stop trying to get my attention
When you can’t even form a sentence to showcase your approval.
When did I ask for it in the first place?
The length of my clothing does not translate to me saying yes.
Yes, Si, Oui, Ja, Ken.
Learn the language or learn how to control yourself.
Also study up on this.
I can dress my body for me.
Crazy, I know.
But the day when this is no longer considered insanity
Starts with us teaching young boys to respect girls as people.
And stop allowing “boys to be boys.”
