"you hit like a girl"
my older brother would say as
we fought over the bathroom
each morning.
i remember tumbling onto
the wooden floor with playful
bruises knowing i would lose
in the end.
"you hit like a girl"
said who i thought was my
first love as he left his mark
on my body and soul alike,
knowing i wouldn't put up
much of a fight as even i knew
it was a losing battle
from the start.
wasn't it always with
them?
still i suppose hitting like a
girl has always been my real
downfall.
my own fault.
hasn't it?
-well according to the men
