#MeTooK12 Campaign | Stop Sexual Assault in Schools:



ME

I CAN'T ESCAPE ME

THE MAN DEVOURS THE FRIEND, THE PERSON
OF THIS I LONG TO BE FREE

THE MAN TOOK SO MANY YEARS TO DO
THE PERSON, THE FRIEND IS ALL TOO NEW

THE MAN LEARNED ALL THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
EACH PART OF LIFE WITH ITS LIMITS AND CONDITIONS

THE FRIEND, THE PERSON DEALS WITH WHAT IS NOW:
LEARNING EACH MOMENT...WHERE, WHEN, HOW

THE MAN FILLS ME WITH SUCH DISGUST
WITH HIS EMBODIMENT OF LOVE WHICH IS LUST

THE FRIEND, THE PERSON ONLY WITH TRUST

THE MAN FLEXES HIS MUSCLES TO SHOW HIS STRENGTH
IT'S A SHAME IT'S MEASURED IN SIZE AND LENGTH

THE FRIEND, WELL THE FRIEND SHARES
ALL THAT THE PERSON IS IN KNOWLEDGE AND CARE

ALAS IT IS, I AM BUT ME

THE MAN, THE FRIEND, THE PERSON FOR YOU TO SEE

WHAT I AM MUST ALWAYS SHOW
BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE THE FRIEND, THE PERSON
THAT YOU WILL KNOW
