On the verge of lighting up
my womanhood rose like a flame
"Nah bro, you're cool" he said
"Excuse me, call me sister instead" I snapped
But apparently sisterhood is not as cool
and is just not comfortable to be mentioned in a group of friends
as it will rip people's masculinity apart
Faster than a gym bro coming at you
to fix your form
Well, it depends on preferences as well
You see, my sisters would prefer to be called 'BROS'
to feel cooler like a human
instead of a hot object ready to be eaten up
by this patriarchy
Call me for what I am,
A Woman
strong and myself.
I don't have to be a guy to be respected or taken seriously
Call me a Sister instead
not because I am insecure about my femininity
but because it is pretty cool to be a Woman
Strong and down to earth
chill and everything
when I called you Sis,
you felt degraded and
your masculinity was stripped down
But let me tell you,
My sisters are much cooler and stronger
than any BRO around

Your first dive
1. Look over a cliff
2. You have to jump in the water
3. It is okay if you are scared
4. Hear the words "You have to" in
the back of your mind
5. Jump, no matter how scared you are
6. Know that you are stronger than you think you are
7. Take this confidence and stretch it out like a clay
and wrap it around you like that is the most powerful thing you own
8. Tell yourself, it is okay to be scared,
but necessary to overcome the fear.
No matter how much you avoid it,
Sooner or later, you have to confront it
9. Be proud of yourself and your confidence,
10.Wear the clay around you
