Don’t you dare call me dramatic

Don’t you dare say I’m overreacting

I am standing by what I said

Your the problem

So yea

I had a choice

Every women

Every girl

Is amazing

You are amazing

You are the sun

Warming our life

Brightening our day

You are the glue

That holds us together

Keeping us safe

You're doing great

Bend your middle and ring
            forward
Hold them to your palm

the rest, they stay up

and now you brandish
a weapon of a sign

“It's not all men”
They say 

And no maybe it's not

But if there's a shark

Deep in the water

Do you dive in and wait 

They all say they'd visit dinosaurs 

go back and dig for gold 

meet their great-great-great grandparents 

be around when electricity was discovered. 

When the question is asked 

Silver arms

Reaching up

Delicate

And yet bearing

Weight

A big middle

Rough

Covered in patterned skin

Big enough

That my arms don't

Wrap around

The course outside
