Alexis Torres 8th Period

She walked down the street

tripping on people’s need to use her

The girl would get back up

Only to be greeted by a gravelly insult

once again

She remains oblivious to the cruel reality that manages to avoid being seen

But men could see her

along with her tattoos of abuse

They've seen her shimmering star of hope

and had it blacked out for their entertainment

They took the liberty of dragging her calls for help across the shameful street

and into the busy road

While some watched her helpless form in the middle of chaos

Her vision was damaged in the ongoing traffic

she didn't even know they were reciting the definition of hate

with every slap of the face to her gender
