Abstinence


"Just say no"

It's not that easy

When someone pressures you

Hurts you until you do what they want

"Selfish little slut, you never share"

The names the scream into your face is too hard to handle

Slut

Whore

Sleaze

Cow

All because he wouldn't take no for an answer

All because his friends couldn't shut their mouths

All because you couldn't say no

So the next time you call a girl a 

Slut

Sleaze

Whore

Think about how she was treated

Maybe she was the victim.
