stay away (a song)

 

Stay away from me

 

Stay away

Stay away

Stay away from me

 

Don’t need no ideology

Don’t tell me what to think

I will not be your pawn

I will not be fooled.

 

Some things just don’t seem to make sense

I see you now, so full of lies.

Nothing you say makes sense.

I wanted to leave, you want me to die

 

Don’t need no ideology

Don’t tell me what to think

 

Stay away

Stay away

Stay away from me.

 

I didn’t know what I was doing
I was just a child

The innocence is gone

Now it haunts me forever

 

Don’t need no ideology

Don’t tell me what to think

 

I see it now

I used to say that I am fine

Until I realize I never was

 

Tried to speak my mind

Society sides with you

Shaming me for speaking up

So much hostility that it is frightening

 

Stay away

Stay away

Stay away from me

 

I don’t need no ideology

Don’t tell me what to think

 

There is just so much pain

Is there a way to end this cycle

Will we ever be whole again

Will you get your just dessert in the end?

 

Stay away

Stay away

Stay away from me

 

Stay away

Stay away

Stay away from me

 

Stay away

Stay away stay away from me…

3 chapters on male victims of rape in my BEYOND LABELS

    Chapter 4   Rape   Why does this concern me and why should it matter to me? Because it exists, it happens to men as it does to women. Everywhere you look; billboards talk about female victims of DV, human trafficking, SA, and rape. Pushing the narrative that men are abusers, rapists and pedophiles. A small minority of men commit those crimes and a small number of women do too. It’s a human issue and yet society treats it like it only happens to women, never men. It’s not a wonder why men don’t report their abuse, their rape to anybody. Crime documentaries talk about female rape victims almost always but never mention a single male victim of rape. Law and order and CSI touch on that sometimes, but no one seems to be too concerned. Male victims of DV, SA, and rape happened a lot more often than people realize, but crime shows never want to touch on that subject. It is because they want to keep pushing the narrative: “Men bad, women good.” Movies and...

A message of hope

  The idea of finding common ground feels daunting. Many individuals are reluctant to engage with those whose beliefs or affiliations they find abhorrent like those who are like white supremacists, individuals affiliated with hate groups, or staunch supporters of divisive political figures. This wariness is understandable; no one wants to align themselves with ideologies that promote harm or hatred. Those who identify with harmful ideologies often create an atmosphere of hostility that makes it difficult for there to be any communication. This fear is compounded by the reality that some individuals, whether due to mental illness or societal conditioning, struggle to form connections. Some men avoid forming deep bonds with other men out of fear of being perceived as weak or gay, while individuals suffering from mental health issues may find it challenging to connect with others altogether. Race and gender play a crucial role in shaping our interactions. While many advocate for r...
