We Are Human
I am a girl
Small and “innocent”
Weak and powerless
I am a girl
You are a boy
Rough and “macho”
Strong and powerful
You are a boy
So does this mean that I,
As a girl,
Should not be in a ring, on a mat, on the street,
Kicking your ass?
Because I can.
So does this mean that you,
As a boy,
Are not allowed to cry or show feelings,
Have to hold it all in?
Because you don’t.
Girls cry, boys cry.
Boys fight, girls fight.
I do not ever have to make you a sandwich
You do not ever have to do everything I say
We do not have to live by stereotypes.
We are one
Small and innocent
Strong and powerful
Humans
Who never have to live by a stereotype.
-Diana Perez
