“I can explain myself: If you want to be safe, walk in the middle of the street. I’m not joking. You’ve been told to look both ways before crossing the street, and the sidewalk is your friend, right? Wrong. I’ve spent years walking sidewalks at night. I’ve looked around me when it was dark, when there were men following me, creeping out of alleyways, attempting to goad me into speaking to them and shouting obscenities at me when I wouldn’t, and I suddenly realised that the only place left to go was the middle of street. But why would I risk it? Because the odds are in my favour. In the States, someone is killed in a car accident on average every 12.5 minutes, while someone is raped on average every 2.5 minutes. Even when factoring in that, one, I am generously including ALL car-related accidents and not just those involving accidents, and two, that the vast majorities of rapes still go unreported […] And, thus, this is now the way I live my life: out in the open, in the middle of everything, because the middle of the street is actually the safest place to walk.”

God Help Me
God help me,
I don’t see,
How I can live this way,
And I dont know he’s,
Touching me,
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me,
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me.
God help me,
And just maybe,
I’ll learn to help myself,
Speak to me,
Don’t leave me,
He’s burning me,
Won’t you shine in my direction and help me,
Won’t you lend me your protection and help me.
Am I guilty or am I just waiting around,
For the tide to come in,
So the truth can come out,
And if I had a dollar for every time,
I repented the sin,
And commit the same crime,
I’d be sitting on top of the world,
I’d be sitting on top of the world.
Places everyone, this is a test,
Throw your stones, do your damage, your worst,
And your best, all the world is a judge,
But that doesn’t compare to what I do to myself,
When your not there,
And if I had a dollar for every time,
I repented the sin,
And commit the same cripe,
I’d be sitting on top of the world today,
I’d be sitting on top of the world today.
Don’t make me choose, I’ve got to much too lose,
Don’t make me choose, I’ve got too much to lose,
Don’t make me choose, I’ve got to much too lose,
Don’t make me choose, I’ve got to much to fucking lose!
For I am with you, and also with you,
I am with you, and also with you.
God help me.
Welcome (:
