the struggle of female
They don't ask how many breaths we take in a lifetime.

They don't care how many hands we have held.

What they will ask is how many hands have you let run down your body, as if our bodies are a jungle gym of fun.

They will ask you why you talk so loud even though nobody seems to hear you no matter how loud you yell.

What they won't tell you is that everyone is watching.

Everyone had already made up their mind on how they will twist around your words.

You as an individual must not become overwhelmed by this.

You Are proving your stronger than their words and this itself will get under their skin.

You are not defined by this.

You are still you.

- The girls that almost let high school destroy them.
