A Change To Be Made
A Change To Be Made
I went out,
In my dress that was above my knee,
I went out in public,
Where boys stared at me.
I felt uncomfortable,
I pulled my dress down to cover my knee.
Still the staring didn't stop
I felt weird,
I felt 'bad',
I turned around and went back home.
People said that it was my fault,
That I shouldn't have worn that dress.
That I shouldn't have attracted them,
That I shouldn't dress up for myself.
I asked mother,
She kept her hand on my shoulders and said,
"Dear, it isn't your fault,
It wasn't your dress at fault.
It is their eyes and mindset,
That must be changed,
And not you."
I felt relieved after this,
The next time I went the same happened,
But this time I didn't feel 'bad'
Instead, I confronted them.
I hope every woman is taught,
That it isn't her fault.
And I hope every man is taught,
To change their view...
