A Good Little Girls Zine

Catch me.

Glistening green grass glows,

catching my eyes, my thoughts

A swift shift of energy exchange and I am me again, briefly brave, Standing still

Feet firmly planted on my path

Glistening green grass glows,

catching my voice, my breath

Whispers of fight fiercely flood my veins and my fingers curl into fists full of fight

Glistening green grass glows,

catching reason, logic, rightness

I remember the rallies of ready warriors who stand behind me, next to me, with me.

Glistening green grass glows

catching me the truth instead of the fear, the past, the angry, the floods.
