329

May 26, 2014

I am 18

An adult in the US of A

329 of my age

Considered "girls" no less then animals in a cage

Were stolen

Were taken

Were kidnapped in masses

April 14th 2014

The age of iPads, Obama, Healthcare and Gay rights

Still, it is not fair

Stuck in the past

Trapped and converted.

I may be shorter, weaker and slower to run

But they are women as am I

Bested by 100 men

Not by numbers but by the fear

Of guns and

Of men not shedding a tear
