No Warning… No Consent

No Warning… No Consent

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.
