I’m siting here drunk On this dark and lonely night Wishing you were here To help me with my plight Where were you When I needed you? Where were you When someone else touched my body? Where were you When I felt like I was being choked to death? I’m sorry to say But I really wish it were someone else Instead of me I wish I weren’t the one Who had a strangers hands All over my body I wish I weren’t the one For, if I weren’t, I wouldn’t jump at the touch of a friend And I wouldn’t flinch every time I saw his face Honestly, what do guys not understand about consent? What is so pleasing about leaving a dent? If only I weren’t so spent, Would he have been a true gent Now, all I do is vent Even though he says that’s not what he meant All he needed was my consent All he needed was my consent ~ Shezlin Dinesh
