Prominence


I am not delicate but I will wear pink.

I am not frightened but I will cover my eyes at a horror movie.

I am young but that does not mean I have a blind eye.

I am female but that does not make me weak.

My strength to stand up for what I believe in us something that refuses to be ignored.

I won't turn my head at the injustive and I won't forget about the ones who need help. 

I am here to stay and nothing can stop me.

Words, malevolence, critics.

My mind is stronger than my muscles, but that doesn't mean I won't fight for what is right.

Equality, honesty, morality.

I will do my part and i will remain.
