It’s getting dark now
On the train home
Myriad thoughts about what I’d do just in case
Is my phone charged?
Turn the music down
Is there anyone standing a bit too close
Does someone have a weird vibe?
Text my friends to tell them where I am
I hold on tight to my keys
They’ll be my weapon just in case
Trust me when I tell you the fear is real
We are sick of being blamed
What was she wearing?
What was she doing out so late?
I look around me
Speed up my step
Walking home at night anxious every day
I sigh with relief
When it’s just a girl
We locked eyes cause we know we are safe
I even earned a black belt
But nothing will ever be enough
I’m constantly reminded
that public spaces are still not mine
There are creeps everywhere
It happens every day across the world
Resigned to accept
Be always alert
To prevent an offense
