How can you grow up? With any kind of self-worth Or faith in humans When the one who abused you is out there roaming free without shame As a child Your mind splits in two People only see one side of you Al that rage built up inside and it’s still out of control Hoping to forget but I never will Why can’t we live? Without any FEAR, we grow up being blamed for our abusers actions Because somehow it is our fault that we are sexually desirable AS children to these sick fucks How could someone deflower a rose? Before it has bloomed? How could you? Ill survive in my garden of hate.

Yes you are punk Yes you are crude But you don’t have the same problems as I do It’s easy for you to leave mainstream society White middle class You don’t understand how these problems that you claim to hate Intersect Standing in the crowd Watching you play Vague oppression is offensive when it doesn’t apply to you Your meritocracy is not my fantasy Yes you are punk Yes you are crude You’ll never have the same problems as I do Rebel all you want But I had to relearn my entire life I need my own space We need our own space To be angry, truly angry

Why do we have to understand the motives for the rapist? Why is their mental health more important than the scars they leave us to die with. Fuck. It’s innate to know right from wrong Sex is taught Rape culture is learned Survivors are silenced by sympathizers I will never forget I will never forgive

Stop making excuses for child abusers They are not ill X2 This abuse was not sickness They were not victims themselves Survivors would never pass their scars X2 Who’s the real victim here? I’ve never felt justice I’ve only felt forgotten Who’s the real victim here? I’ve never felt justice I’ve only felt ashamed When will the outrage begin? It is not random It is not a lack of self-control IT is about control Control to know that you are hurting a child and you still continue to abuse … It is not random It is not a lack of self-control IT is about control Control to know that you are hurting a child but you still continue to abuse … Still continued to abuse me

We are the ultimate stance This world men have created Will not last any longer With their ruling Their churches and nuclear families That have brought us down since the dawn of time We dare to dream We dare to fight For the impossible Never settle for less Total translation equals survival Abandon all patriarchy Outdated systems of oppression must fall They call us naïve but how else will things get done Their churches and their nuclear families They have brought us down since the dawn of time

They said you were bad for me I know you hated me I know you hated me But still I caved in I gave you my heart And I don’t really understand why you girls hated me We used to think that the world was against us Now it’s only you against me But now it’s only you against me rant- This battle has raged for years//In darkness, alone in my bed I can’t stop thinking of where it all went wrong//I’m struggling everyday//This constant hate you have for me//Why do you hate me? //There’s nowhere to hide because you know everyone//you took them all away from me When will the animosity end? And to think I would dream of dancing with you one last time. Is the war on woman now among us and not against us? You’re a slut shamming feminist, check your inner misogyny.
