Be a girl

Be a woman
Walk past
A group of men
Feel your heart thump
Avert your eyes
Freeze your face muscles
No shadow of a smile
Should flicker
A signal

Be a woman
Feel safer
Walking with a child
Than walking
Alone

Being
A mother
May suggest
You are taken

These men
may mean
no harm

But they may

so you
Beware

Experience the fear
Be a woman
