If I had a platform
If I had a stage
A microphone, audience and camera
Here is what I would say:
one in five women
i am that one
one in five women
i am angry
i am furious
i don’t want to hear
“not all men”
i don’t want to hear
“what were you wearing?”
a full year later
my hurt is still here
my anger is still here
i am angry at the system
at Title IX
at the lack of justice
at myself
for not being braver
for not being stronger
for being scared
for being in that situation at all
but i should not have to be here
angry and hurt
i should have never been put here
If I had a platform
If I had a stage
I would tell the whole world:
I don’t want your pity
I want change
