girls can be heroes too.

they think that we are pink and lace,

teasing, flirting, never serious,

starbucks, selfies, long hair, makeup,

but we are so much more.

dark warriors, amazon queens, puppetmistresses, negotiators, serpents poised to strike, ready to compromise on anything but our beliefs.

you might find it strange but it's true.

girls can be heroes too.
