This is it

A rapist is a rapist if it’s someone you don’t know

Rape is only rape when you’re walking home alone

It’s a man’s job

Women cannot rape

And if a guy rapes a guy, it’s now a joke called “gape”

If you wear tight clothes

That means “go ahead”

And there are no boundaries

Once you get into bed

Rape isn’t rape

When you’re in a relationship with each other

And if a rapist gets you pregnant

You have no choice but to be a mother

If you first say yes

You have no choice

You already agreed

And lost your voice

If you don’t have scars or cuts to prove it

If you listened when he forcefully said “do it”

That’s not rape, it’s just a lie

Even though it killed your soul, you dealt with it inside

You had too much to drink

Couldn’t speak the words “no”

Wake up the next morning

And your sleeping sex-tape is a show

Society’s stigmas force victims to hide

To wither away, with this secret inside

Left to accept the blame with nothing to show

And all because they don’t understand “no”

You asked me what it is I need

It’s to no longer have to plea

For people to understand what I say;

That these stigmas and assumptions are not okay
