Just Like A Girl

They fling it like a stone,
“Like a girl,” they mock and sneer,
A weakness they imply,
A lesser state of being.

As if femininity were a haunt,
Throw like a girl, they would jest,
Cry like a girl, they would scorn,
As if emotions were a mark of fear.

But heed, who twist these words so tight,
Keep your hollow taunts,
With words like brittle branches,
For “like a girl” holds no power,
Once she breaks these empty phrases.

To walk like a girl,
On paths she sculpted with pride,
Is to brave the storm,
For a girl is more than just a word,
She’s the anthem of courage,
Meant to rise in every stride.

Let your insults crumble,
Like dust beneath her feet.

Now, let your mere echoes wither,
Like leaves upon a vine.

In the face of adversity,
With unwavering spirit,
She’ll conquer with no fear,
Just like a girl.
