A Good Little Girls Zine

I see me, whole

without and with it—a duality that confuses all the people

I see me, though

Whole

without and with me, my inside-outside melting into the same pot

Finally: a union I am so ready to share

show to all these people

I can hear the syllables bouncing around in my head, sounds vibrating against my skull

ready to break free

Be me

Be whole.
