To the boys on the streets

To the boys on the streets.

Alex Estrada

Sometimes I wear baggy clothes because maybe

As I walk down the street you won’t touch me like he did.

You won’t make me feel ashamed like he did.

Maybe you’ll think that baggy clothes mean

No, as much as booty shorts do.

And I won’t have to feel your hands on my skin.  

Because to you consent means

The less clothes she wears, the more she wants it.

To you taking someone’s soul feels powerful.

To me, you are a sad excuse for a human being.
