Abstract
The poem "I Hide My Skin For Society's Purpose" was inspired by the UK Police emails regarding the sexual assaults on campus and the amount of policies that encroach on women's freedom to speak on sexual violence. In addition, this poem addresses the fear women may carry in response to a victim blaming society.
