Earbuds In
Keep your ear buds in because no one would bother someone who can't hear them
Keep your ear buds in because if you didn't hear them, the catcalls didn't happen, right?
Keep your fists clenched, primed and ready
Keys where you can grab them
Head up
Walk fast but don't run
if you're being followed walk towards the police station
take a phone call even if your phone doesn't ring
Grab and twist
People will come if you scream fire
Keep alert
Walk on light paths
Avoid parks, alleys and the fronts of bars
And maybe you'll make it home alright
