Don't ask me why I walk around with a knife,
because you sir, have never feared for your life,
as a woman I've been told, there is a target on my back,
and in the dark night, some man is ready to attack,
Don't ask me why I've never known peace,
I have been taught that every man just wants a piece,
cat called, cornered, groped and then hit,
But I'm not a victim because my outfit was asking for it.
Don't ask me why I'm scared of your handshake,
because a single touch puts my life at stake,
I was never allowed to learn any form of defence,
'It's a boy sport' they said, 'have some common sense'.
Don't ask me why I don't raise my voice,
because in all my life that was never a choice,
the law is on your side, and I have no rights,
I get called a spineless whore, simply for wearing tights,
So, let me ask you this oh mighty man,
do you harass us just because you can?
or do you rape girls because it's fun?
If you don't think it's wrong, then why do you run?
