Not All Dangers Come From Strangers
October 27, 2018
Not all dangers
come from strangers;
nit all days
shine with sun rays.
Dangers can come out
from under your nose,
even if the danger
isn't something you chose.
It happens with Olympians
and their medical resident
and not one word
from the man who is president.
It happen when girls
are left alone with boys;
when they’re to scared to move
or even make a noise.
So we need to stop blaming it all on strangers,
because strangers aren’t the only ones causing our dangers
