No Warning… No Consent
written by: Maggie Chatterton

They assume the worst from me
Based on my clothing,
My curfew hours,
Or my tattoos and piercings.
They think that
Just because I drink,
They can take advantage of me.
No warning…
They don’t realize or care
That it means that there’s
No consent from me.
But they are protected
While I am put to blame.
Even if I do everything right,
It is somehow
All on me.
Maggie Chatterton made her debut as a poet in February 2015 with the collection This Lullaby. Her second collection, This Madness, is set to be released July 6th.
She writes poems to vent her emotions and thoughts. But most of all, she write because it's what she loves to do.
