When You Call Girls Crazy
some lyrics from a song i wrote about victim blaming & sexual assault
When I was 16
A monster disguised
As a boy with blue eyes
Told me I was safe
Then he stole my skin
And he borrowed my body
Didn't ask if he could use it
he just gave it back dirty
And I still can't get out those stains
He said how should I know?
You never said no
But we both know
That's bullshit
Cause when a house sets fire
You don't blame that house
You blame the fucker who burnt it down
Why do boys burn us down?
They should know better than to play with matches
But they set us on fire then call us batshit
Whenever they see some of our ashes
So when you call girls crazy
Just know we've seen some things
You probably wanted an angel
Well, too bad
We had to make a deal with the devil
Just to make it through hell and back

The Bloody Blood in Your Veins
Our Origins Today, I read something I didn't know—one more thing to add to all the other things I didn't know. By the time I grow up, I’ll have a collection. But it was intriguing, and it inspired me to write this post. I hope you enjoy it.
