“Eat your vegetables and don’t talk to strangers”.
That is that we are told.
When we are as young as two years old.
I am talking about the women. To be exact.
Not the men, the men…
Oh, the men.
They get showcased for being able to approach a stranger and take her life.
They go to prison and they don’t have to look over their shoulder.
They live or Die.
But the women, we never sleep.
We never leave our house without forwarding our live location to our peers.
We barely even leave our house.
Yet still, we are shamed.
Shamed for wearing skirts.
Shamed for being feminine.
But the men?
The men.
They get to walk at night.
They get to pose top less in pictures.
Without getting some creepy DM
I need to let 5 people know when I am home safe.
I need people to let me know when they are home safe.
People are women.
People are all women.
Who need to look out for one another?
So, when I am home safe,
I pretend I am not scared.
I know my guardian angel was there.
But then…
I see another one of my sisters did not make it home safe.
I do not know her.
We are not blood sisters.
But we are sisters…
And the man?
The man who kill’s her goes on with his life.
But I lost a sister.
She didn’t make it home safe.
Where was her guardian angel?
Now I wonder.
The men who do not care.
The men who take lives.
Those men…
Do they not deserve to die?
Because the women, the women do not deserve to die.
They deserve to be happy, safe, and protected.
The women should always make it home safe.
