Sa Awareness Month - Tumblr Posts

No matter what I was wearing,

And no matter where I could go,

Clothes do not mean yes

And no will always mean no.

Short as my skirt may have been,

And though I may have looked my best,

You did not ask for consent,

And I did not say yes.

I can still recall your hands

Where they should not have strayed,

And I will always remember

While for you it was just another day.

How many have fallen victim to you

And others who act the same?

Why are you still free to roam

And we get told to change our ways?

now that it’s sexual assault awareness month, i want everyone who’s ever experienced any form of sexual abuse to know that your trauma is valid. it’s still assault if it was your significant other. it’s still assault if it was your friend. it’s still assault if it was a family member. it’s still assault if it was someone you trusted. don’t ever let anyone tell you that your experience wasn’t real. as someone who was a victim of this a year ago today, i want you to know you are stronger than your demons. it gets better. it may take time, but i promise things can only improve. and a big fuck you to the person who hurt you and invaded your privacy. you are ten million times stronger than they will ever be. i love you, and my inbox is always open to anyone who needs to talk 🩵
