Dear Rapist

Why do you not see me as a...
...human being...
...someone with rights...

Knotted black satin...
Torn nylon stockings...
...used to bind...
...used to silence...

Detached buttons...
Imposing hands...
...innocence violated...
...authority abused...

No one is immune...
...to physical force...
...to coercion...

Anyone can be...
...a victim...
...a victimizer...

But what can we do in world of...
...sexualization...
...money...
...power...
...cat and mouse...

Don't you realize I may be someone's...
...mother...
...daughter...
...aunt...
...niece...
