A Good Little Girls Zine

Came Before Me

Begin:

again and again and again

you can sit me down and point your scrawny finger at me, judge me, pierce holes of doubt on every inch of my body

I will

block it all, for I have the courage of the billion women who came before me—my armor it’s a force, an iron gate of power

again and again and again

I will block your blows.
