A Good Little Girls Zine

Super Power

The sharp eruption thunders next to me,

I am deaf, but for the ringing in my ears

it whispers: say something, speak up, stand up

In the silent ringing, my thoughts erupt too—scream, crash, flail thunder inside

waiting, knowing

this…

this is my super power!
