Strong Women And Girls

Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)



I don't like the delicate, damsel in distress types.

There should be stronger representations about women

No matter what color they are.

Do you see them weak around us?

That is how some fictional characters are.

I cannot respect them too well.

It's why I chose to write as guy characters.

They make it seem they're the strongest gender.

The girls and women can be the leaders and defenders too.

Historical ways do have them.

I feel we need to play bigger roles.

Revealing our potential

The woman can be the strong, boulder to the man.

No one likes people too weak or cannot be independent.

I just wish I can depend on myself and have friends that can do the same.

No more biting off the person's energy.

Then you know what little girls and lost women look up to.
