Strength

Your catcalling, and your harassment

is what makes me feel scared at night

your stalking is still haunting

as you watch me walk down a street

I try and wish the best

but I can still feel your presence beneath

the shadows of the walls

in the dark ally as it creaks

oh how I try to ignore

this feeling inside of me

this fear that you feed on

is it a game to you?

Well I'm not a chest piece

I'm a person too

You will try and touch me

I know what you do

but I will try my very best, to not let you

you will probably try to attack and make me cry

but just so you know 

you won't win whats on the inside

I will hold my ground

and I will cry my tears

for I am strong

stronger than fear.

and for what you do is what is wrong

you won't get away with it

I will hold you accountable

and stand in a firm ground

I will defend myself, until all else

because I know that you will run

once you've realized what you've done

and when that happens I will know I have won.
