When you feel as if eyes are leering at you 

So you turn your head to face the sidewalk 

To avoid the stares of strangers

Making sure you're not "asking for it" 

making sure to look over your shoulder 

Because the first question asked if anything happens will always be 

"What were you wearing?" 

As if your clothes could control the actions of others like some kind of leader 

As if by dressing for a summer day automatically becomes an invitation for others to watch you as prey. 

As if everything could have been avoided if you chose not to walk home.
