Me Too

Dear People Who Victim Shame...

I’m allowed to let my hair down,

I’m allowed to have fun,

I’m allowed to go out clubbing,

I’m allowed to drink alcohol,

I’m allowed to wear skimpy clothes,

I’m allowed to wear makeup,

I’m allowed to explore my sexuality,

I’m allowed to walk home alone,

I’m allowed to wear men’s clothes,

I’m allowed to have male friends,

I’m allowed to do what’s best for me,

I’m allowed to have a voice,

I’m allowed to say NO.

To all of the victims out there, just remember… It’s never your fault.

Don’t let this experience bruise you, let it build you.
