I am soft,
Fluid movements
Relaxed muscles
Eager to smile
Quick to laugh
Carefree and alive
I am hard.
Direct maneuvering
Clenched jaw
Ready to bite
Preparing to run
Surviving the streets
Men see femininity
As weakness
Men see vulnerability
As an opportunity
Men see openness
As an invitation
They use their gaze
They use their hands
They use their voice
To remind you
Of your place
in public spaces
