Watch Your Language
A poem

move on with your life
show you can live without him
i am moving on
i am thriving without him
if you smile at a man
he may think you’re flirting
be careful
why should my smile
be an invite for sex?
nice people attract predators
so it’s my fault i’m too nice?
victims who live
are survivors
victims who disclose
are warriors
victims who smile at strangers
are seeking connection
not the desire
to spread their legs
watch your language
