No means no. Yes means go.
they say it's your fault. I was so young and confused.
I wouldn't talk or eat. I cried myself to sleep. It's not my fault.
I didn't ask for this. No means no
my short skirt didn't mean it was okay to touch me.
you invaded my space.
I said stop and you wouldn't listen.
I'm bruised now, left beaten.
my thighs have marks from a man I didn't know.
I'm left here with replaying a rape seen, while they force me to put on a show.
no means no. yes means go.
I said no.
