Better Safe

Better safe than sorry

Better dead than whoring

Can't be safe when I'm lonely

Can't be safe when surrounded

Tell me how to protect myself

Don't bother stopping the hatred

Tell me what I did wrong this time

Don't bother catching the rapist

Can't be right if you've had sex

Can't be right if you haven't 

Better raped than horny

Better safe than sorry

Tears

Water of a well from deep within

Usually quiescent and thin

But in a storm the aquifer swells

Each down heavy as timber fells

I do not cease when the well runs dry

Rain won't fall when the storm subsides

The well can't weep when the levels drop

As the pressure lowers, my tears do stop
