The Extra Girl
I am the one who lurks in the corner at the school dances.
I am the one who struggles to keep my voice steady when presenting in class.
I am the one who picks up that wrapper you just dropped, because you were too lazy to throw it away yourself.
I am the one who lets others go before me, because I am too shy to create conflictions.
I am the girl on the movie set- the Extra in the background that you see walking past the star.
I am the quiet girl.
I am the loud girl.
I am the one who will take your backwards way of thinking to the ground.
I am the one who will punch you straight in the mouth for harming someone who you know can't fight back.
I am the girl at the social justice rallys, screaming "EQUALITY" until my throat bleeds.\
I am the girl who will rise up and create billions in a corperation.
I am the girl whose name you will see on your paychecks.
I am the girl who will one day earn the respect she deserves.
I am THAT girl.
