Is it the way that I dress?

That got me molested and harrassed

To be a woman is to fear for my life

to cry for my stolen dignity and pride

To be a woman is to heal from the traumas of being touched as a child

To be a woman is to live in fear

because the monster is already near

Was it the skirt that I wore?

that resulted in me being found dead in a ditch with my clothes tore

To be a woman is to be belittled and abused

To be a woman is to be objected and used

Was my dress too short, that it exposed my thighs and showed my breast?

Is it the reason I was harrassed and left undressed?

Just because I showed my chest!

What is it to be a woman?

Is it to die for no crime?

Because I smiled at a monster and he took my life?

Even if I change the way that I dress, I can never change the mind of a man

If this is what it means to be a woman

than I rather be a man.
