Violated Jina Kaye
When you diss me, I feel
VIOLATED.
When you smack me, I feel
VIOLATED.
After I say no and you keep on, I feel
VIOLATED.
When you try to change me, I feel
VIOLATED.
Another word for violate
is disregard.
That means you don't care,
I feel ignored and neglected
When you diss or smack me
Instead of being the protector
I need you to be.
Definition #4 is rape...
and we all know what that is.
No means no, anyway you slice it--
So respect it, or you'll get IT sliced.
Definition #3 is disturb...
It is disturbing to know that you
weren't attracted to me,
but my possibilities.
So...
When you diss me, I feel
DISRESPECTED.
When you smack me, I feel
ASSAULTED.
When I say no, but you keep on, I feel
MOLESTED.
When you try to change me, I feel
DESECRATED.
No, it's not okay when you grab me
and punch me like our fight is
some damn Taebo class.
Just because my mouth has too much sass.
I'm a woman and I must stay strong
Against the harassment I get every day,
From haters to lovers to
the ones in-between
I can't focus on that when
I got to deal with you.
So take your VIOLATION
and shove it up your ass.
Excuse me, did I VIOLATE you?
I only thought I was giving the props
you were due.
