Say something!
Do something!
React!
We all think we'll be the hero when the time comes to step up against the bad guys.
Oh well if that happened to me I would...
I can't believe that happened, I would've...
That's horrible you should've...
Well you could've...
In the moment when the monster camouflaged as something... someone harmless
Decides to strike
Someone hit the pause button on empowerment
Fear froze my womanly strength
Froze my reflexes
Froze my mind
This is not the kind of thing you can really prepare for.
But when you're violated in the middle of a crowded subway car
Stuck, struck, stroke, choking for air
All alarms going off on the inside
But still frozen with fear on the outside
Its so unfair, you want to stand up for yourself.
It's over it happened, but never again
She thought until the next time she ran into a similar beast
Iced response cannot compute what is happening
Say something!
Do something!
React!
Don't just stay frozen
Don't stay broken
Don't let your spirit be stolen.

A Note on Street Harassment- NaPoMo 21 of 30
The day when walking
Allowed for stalking
And more unwanted passes
Checking out asses
And assets
Placing bets on who gets the prize
Haunting and daunting
Stares and drool
It's not cool bro
Definitely not cool
So do we have to school you
On what to do
In the street?
It's not the place to meet
Or mate.
You actually irritate
Not activate
Your chances to procreate.
Not trying to hate on your game
But it's a shame
You gotta be that lame
To aim like you're hitting a target
In many public places
Including Walmart.
So be smart,
'Cause right now
It's just not cute.

Transportation
The metro
An underground spectacle
Miles of track carrying millions of people
To destinations unknown to the rest of the world
Intertwined paths of those who wouldn't cross otherwise
Two or more souls sharing a moment
Even if it's finding your balance
Or fighting to get in
Kind of like life
You wrestle for a spot
Always going somewhere
Being careful not to stumble
Hold onto the rail
Your stop is next
