Raped

Raped
Could I hide my face
Cover my hair to feel more safe
Not connect
Just disconnect to avoid that fate
Not even date
Not have sex
Let all these things hold me back
To not get raped
Not get raped
You know what I want
I’m permiscuous
So I get what I deserve
I ask for it
Just off of looks
It’s what I’ve earned
And I’ve had so much experience
I can’t have love
Anything I might get
I have to give it up
Don’t want my fate to be rape
Let my prose come much too late
Cause I can’t want you in the dark
Don’t want my fate to be rape
Let my clothes be my mistake
Even if I wanted to start
Could I hide my face
Cover my hair to feel more safe
Not connect
Just disconnect to avoid that fate
Not even date
Not have sex
Let all these things hold me back
To not get raped
Not get raped
And in the day I hide my face
Behind my shades
Expired mace should be replaced
Until then I make my haste
All the heels stay in the boxes
Too fresh for all the foxes
That might steal them away
Don’t want my fate to be rape
Let my clothes be my mistake
Cause I can’t want you in the dark
Don’t want my fate to be rape
Let my prose come much too late
Even if I wanted to start
Could I hide my face
Cover my hair to feel more safe
Not connect
Just disconnect to avoid that fate
Not even date
Not have sex
Let all these things hold me back
To not get raped
Not get raped
And I know too many guys
Though I’ve really tried and tried
And I think that when they see my face
They’re casing what they wanna take
And I know too many guys
Though I’ve really tried and tried
And I think that when they see my face
It’s something that they wanna break
Could I hide my face
Cover my hair to feel more safe
Not connect
Just disconnect to avoid that fate
Not even date
Not have sex
Let all these things hold me back
To not get raped
Not get raped
So stressed over trash
And half-empty bags
That I gotta take when it’s late
Why do you ask
Well it’s something that I hate
When I think on how I hold back
Cause rape’s the same as stealing
If in this world I have nowhere to turn
Has there ever been healing?
Could I hide my face
Cover my hair to feel more safe
Not connect
Just disconnect to avoid that fate
Not even date
Not have sex
Let all these things hold me back
To not get raped
Not get raped
