Outside

Outside

A Poem by Mercer
"

This is about the fear girls have walking around alone.

"

Girls now-a -days don't feel safe

Feeling they cant go outside On their own

They feel put on display

Like a statue of beautiful stone


Girls are meant to be respected

Not taken advantage of

Fear they might be detected

Knowing that guys aren’t above

Refusing being rejected


In today's Age

There's a lot a stigma

About a little thing called Rape

People out there fighting like a Guerilla

Fighting for any chance to escape

Trying to escape their potential Killer


The ones who do survive

But didnt get away

Are brutally Traumatized

Broken a little more everyday


I know this topic is touchy

That's why I chose it

Getting it out their might go roughly

Why should the Victims feel unfit

And take long in Recovery


Lets blow off some statistics

1 in 3 victims think of leaving Earth

Lets get rid of the Gimmicks

94% feel they lost all worth

This is just Simple Analytics

Nothing new to be unearthed

Just a simple question of ethics

Do yours let you force a girl?

Honestly, the flow could be a little better. Some of the phrasings especially could use some work. However, your rhymes were very lyrical, and I feel like this poem could actually be a rap song. That might just be me though. I love your topics. They are all very real issues that people have to deal with nowadays. This poem I found very personal just based off of my own experiences. You have a gift for touching peoples' hearts with your words. Again maybe a little work on phrasing and I feel the flow would be phenomenal. But amazing work already, I look forward to your future works :)

Oh my goodness! This poem holds a lot of truth to it(literally if you weren't making up the statistics, which I don't see why you would make them up.) I really loved it and the rhymes are good. Keep up the good work!
