A Good Little Girls Zine

When I see me, I see

a resilient body that could and has and will

heal itself, stand back up, build muscle, curve in ways only a woman can

When I see me, I see

the large scale capacity of a mind

who delivers empathy, love, creativity

a mind who is a doer

When I see me, I can

sometimes forget and only see that rounded belly and back fat

so I’m writing this to remember, not to forget

When I see me, remember, don’t forget.
