I am so sick of feeling
Like a little
Girl.
I can handle myself.
I feel like
People are constantly
writing me off
As a little girl who needs help.
Well I don’t thank you very much.
I don’t need you to
Look at me and tell some boy
“Hey go help her out”
Or tell me how to take care
Of my siblings whom I have been
Babysitting for years.
I don’t need you to tell me I’m not
Strong or good enough.
I hate it. I hate how people
Make girls like me feel weak
Like they need someone to do
Everything for them
When all they
Want is
To
Feel
Strong.
Don’t coddle me.
Don’t make me feel weak.
Because I am strong.
You just don’t know it yet.
