About

I eat, I sleep, I laugh, I grow. I wait, I dream, I hope. I smile with teeth. I commute, I walk with determination-- sometimes with defeat. I'm shy, boisterous, cunning, deliberate. I write, I enjoy, I sing, I clap. I shake, I cry, I confuse my own self. I love, I share, I absorb it all.

He says,

Girl get me my dinner.

He says,

Girl cut your hair.

He says,

Girl you can’t wear that.

He says,

Girl you’re out of line.

He says,

Girl you better listen.

He says,

Girl you’re no woman yet.

You can’t make decisions.

-HC
