*trigger warning - themes of sexual assault*

It's happening on a daily basis
Short skirts, drunk minds and happy faces.
But not long now, probably by ten,
Some sexual harassment will have happened again.

Many accept nothing will change,
They're used to it, it doesn't seem strange.
But what if I refuse to bury my head?
What will this mean for future kids?

Because it's too late for us,
We're already scarred.
But there's a future out there
and sexual assault's not something I'm willing to disregard.

I know ignorance is bliss,
This is going to be hard.
But it's time to speak up and admit
sexual assault is a big problem.
