I never said anything…
He put his hands where they didn't belong.
I never said anything.
I told him no, he took it anyway.
I never said...anything.
I needed my job, I didn't fight him off and…
I still never said anything.
He...there have been many “he's” in my life that have taken pieces of me,
I Never said anything.
Then one day, I saw him. He was still doing this to others, and…
I said something…
“Liar"
“You just want attention”
“boys will be boys"
“What were you wearing?”
“Just trying to hide the fact that you're a slut.”
“You're going to ruin his life”
I shouldn't have said anything.
It happened, I shook, I cried, I tried to wash this shame away. I wiped my tears, picked myself up and I said something.
“You asked for it”
“He took you to a nice restaurant and bought you dinner, this is how you pay it back?”
“Should have kept your mouth shut”
“Die bitch"
“He's a handsome man, he doesn't need to rape anyone.”
We lose if we don't speak up, we lose of we do...we must change this.
For our daughter's,
Our wives,
Our classmates,
Our co-workers,
Our mothers,
Our sisters,
Our girlfriends,
Our friends..
For ourselves.
Whether you say something now, or you say something later, it wasn't your fault.
