A Good Little Girls Zine

Bring Us Together

Bring us together
Tomfoolery and all
Leave behind walls
They crowd us too much

Bring us together
Late into night
Stories and stories
Giggle out of us tonight

Leave them behind
No walls today
Boxing us in too tight to breathe

Bring us together
To learn from each other
Dishes and breakfasts that
Melt our palates

Bring us together
No walls, No filters
Just girls: a story
Unique and perfect

Leave it behind
Leave it alone
To live no more:
A tall thick wall.
