“Did you say “no” Erliss? Or did you say “on?”
And
“Did you say “on” by not saying “no? “
And
Did you say “no” but mean “on?’”
I…I said “please don’t.”
“please stop.”
“please I don’t want to”
“please no”
“please please pleeeeeeze. ”
That’s not “no” Erliss.
You need to say a loud “NO.”
And say it over and over again
NO NO NO NO NO
Put your hand up and say “no”
Fight and say “NO!”
Fight them, Erliss, FIGHT
Otherwise
It’s your fault
You asked for it
You dressed for it
You smiled for it
You giggled for it
You cried for it
You lay down for it
You lay down underneath and whimpered
You lay down underneath and whimpered so
You made them think you wanted it
But I said…I said please…I said please…I was nice and said “please”
“please stop.”
“please I don’t want to”
“please no”
You gave up your power. You let them take away your voice
YOU let them
You should not have been nice, Erliss
Be tough, Erliss
Suck it up, Erliss
I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to…I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
Quit your whining, Erliss
Quit apologizing, Erliss.
You are just looking for sympathy, Erliss.
It’s not like you were a virgin, Erliss
Quit feeling sorry for yourself, Erliss
You asked for it
You craved it
You wanted it
YOU – MADE – THEM – DO – IT
Erliss…Erliss…Erliss!
Erliss isn’t here anymore.
And that’s what happened when they tried to get Erliss to practice saying “no,” in a specific socially acceptable manner.
Thank you for listening,
Love,
Erliss
P.S. – Not everyone can fight.
P.S. again – I was 15.
