I fight like a girl...

[amyjoyce]

I fight like a girl who refuses to be a victim.
I fight like a girl who's tired of being IGNORED and HUMORED and BEATEN and RAPED.
I fight like a girl who's sick of not being taken seriously.
I fight like a girl who's been pushed too far.
I fight like a girl who OFFERS and DEMANDS RESPECT.
I fight like a girl who has a lifetime of
ANGER and STRENGTH and PRIDE
pent up in her girly body.
I fight like a girl who doesn't believe in
FEAR and SUBMISSION.

I fight like a girl who knows that
THIS BODY and THIS MIND are mine.
I fight like a girl who knows that

YOU ONLY HAVE AS MUCH POWER
AS I GRANT YOU.
I fight like a girl who will never allow you
to take more than I offer.
I fight like a girl who FIGHTS BACK.

So next time you think you can distract
yourself from your insecurities by victimizing a girl,
THINK AGAIN.
She may be ME and

I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL

Who am I? you ask!!

I am a girl
I am between 1 and 100
I have eyes a nose and a mouth
I live in a house
I am short
I weigh something more then nothing

I am not my gender
I am not my age
I am not my eye color
I am not the state in which I live
I am not my height nor my weight

I'm just me.
