our type of girl

our type of girl

A Poem by Lizzie Madloch

We are the embodiment of sand-in-hair liberation.

We’re muscles knowing that nothing worth having comes easy.

We’re made up of memories

of learning to kiss boys (and girls).

Me and sweat and blood. Pretty pink glory.

We don’t come in bow-tied boxes or live on pedestals.

We read thick books and climb up mountains

getting ready to swallow the whole world

with our gap-filled teeth.
