Real Girls

Real girls. He asked why are you paid less? I said because we're fickle and emotional. But not because we're weaker. Perception of weakness. Societal shadow on the wall. As I exhale. Real girls who keep it together. Real girls that foot bills for round-the-world travel. Real girls that think. Real girls that make. Real girls that keep calm and do mountains more than carry on. Real girls that cry. Real, beautiful girls.
