Like a girl
By Klaudia
-
“Run like a girl”, they said. So, I did.
Feeling the wind ruffle my hair, I ran.
From one leg to the other, delicately, carefully, without effort.
Gain everyone’s attention, look rather perfect.
“Why?” they said. “What does run like a girl mean to you?”
I
locked myself in silence. Sat down in a corner. Thought about all these
strong, powerful women who fought for their rights, for equality.
Therefore, why didn’t I run as fast as I could, the best I could?
Our society has created this phrase “like a girl”.
When did something “like a girl” become an insult?
Why doesn’t it mean “win the race” in our heads?

A strong woman isn’t scared,
But a woman of strength shows how brave she is in the middle of her fear.
A strong woman won’t let anyone get he’s best,
But a woman of strength gives the best of what she has.
A strong woman just looks confident,
While a woman of strength wears greatness.
A strong woman hopes that she will be strong in off for her life journey,
But a woman of strength has faith that her journey will make her stronger.
The world needs more women of strength, so they help us all bring happiness to this dangerous world.
Women
with large mouths, red and savage ready to spill their venom on any
adventurer who dares to dear to question their superiority, with their
hair dipping like coils of tar and their eyes shining brighter than any star floating in the last vast, cold universe. Holding the planets and the sun on their shoulders.
It doesn’t matter how they dress, how they live, where or when, they
always fight for good, no matter what evil ahead they make feel safe
like at home, no matter how life goes, they never abandon the ones they
love, even when the situation is hard, they believe in children, support
the men, sounds like some enchanted fairy?
Well, that all describes WOMEN.

Woman who traveled through time
Emily
was a curious young woman who loved to learn about the past. She was
especially interested in people‘s rights and life when her grandparents
were young. One day she was walking in the town and saw that there was a
new time machine built and they were looking for a person to be the
first one to try it. Emily stopped for a moment and thought about going
in and volunteering.
While
she was thinking about it, the inventor came up to her and asked if she
was interested. The woman doubted for a little but then said to
herself, ‘What can I lose? I want to see the past, I want to discover
and study women’s rights a 100 years ago. This is the best way to do
it!’
The
creator of the time machine was still standing and curiously looking at
Emily. She slowly inhaled, looked at him and said, ‘Let’s do this!’ and
came into the building. A few years later she became the first person
and the first woman to travel through time.

A war for rights
In the crowd’s loud chant
That screams for equality, happiness and jollity
Step back, wait, don’t move
You are too weak, you need his approve
Don’t let your spirit be venturous
It is dangerous, they say
Yet it’s an endless path,
The promising light can be seen,
Pays back to the musketeer
To
all us men, women are one of the most complex, yet beautiful and
graceful creatures that have ever walked on the Earth’s surface and
breathed its atmosphere. We believe every single one of us has their
second half. They’re the key to their understanding. This was the case
with Romeo and Juliet.
They met during the summer, neither of them believed in love at first sight, but there it was,
a perfect example when they laid their eyes on one another. They spent
the entire holidays together talking, laughing and enjoying life by
finally finding their second half. As the holidays ended, they didn’t
know what was going to happen.
All
we can say, women change the way we look at our world and run our
lives. Romeo knew that if they were gone, we would be pointless, filled
with anger and lost, mislead by love.
In
the morning, she goes to work, afraid that she’ll be objectified by her
boss. She needs to wear a long skirt because that’s the only
appropriate option. If she'd wear a mini it'd seem as it, she had no
self-respect. She’s got to have high heels to appeal to the client. She has to
stay at home with the kids, she is a mum after all. She can’t wear
makeup, as she’ll look fake and plastic. She can’t have the same wage as
her male acquaintances, nor will she get the same job opportunities as
them.
*Referring to a woman from a sexist society.
She
danced in her vacant loft barefoot, with an empty mind, with no worries
weighing down on her soul. She imminently came undone, untangling and
accepting all her inadequacies and shortcomings after years of
dissembling her true colors.
She let her gradually graying hair with credence, empowering her Windsor and confrontations with the world.
She trusted that her inner beauty vowed
outweighs her evolving age. Her skin despite losing its rosiness and
glow, the wrinkles following the curves of her features defined her
femininity .
Her hands which, were bruised and blue emphasized her diligence and strong capabilities.
In that moment, she realized those were not her flaws but rather what elucidated her true beauty.
If you cross the rapid river and Nike through the vivid green mills, you will reach a place of peace. It’s a little meadow surrounded by tall oak trees.
You
can hear the dripping birds and the busy bees; the tall wild grass and
the even wilder flowers conceal some secrets that shouldn’t be uncovered. It’s a tiny dark den. And in it? The last woman.
A savage beast with moss growing out of its koans and back. It’s the size of an adult bison and has the strength a nectar and fallen leaves.

Woman for women
Sometimes when I’m thinking about women, I think about women's rights. Are they equal to man’s rights?
Now think they’re close to be, but they were not good (well still they’re not perfect). We have many ‘superheroes’. Mine is Malala Yousafazi.
She made women’s lives better especially education. She really did so
she is the youngest teenager that got Nobel peace prize. She was shot in
the head because of her activism, but she survived.
Now every woman knows who is she and people know that because of her women can be whoever they want to be, even a president. A few years ago, that could be unthinkable.

A woman’s story
It was a sunny morning,
the sky was blue and I was peacefully cleaning as I usually was every
Monday. My husband had gone off to work and my children to school.
I turned on the telly
and the news was on. There was a woman on the news, a female politician
on the news. Her name was Hannah Smith. She inspired me.
The
next couple of weeks I became more like my husband. I became more
involved with politics. I even signed up to go to college and got
accepted. It felt like such an achievement.
Since
that morning my entire life has changed. I am now in university and I’m
aiming to change women rights all around the world.
I want to create a women dedicated bond
To make us happy everyday,
What would we do without women,
We would be in so much trouble
Without business women, congresswomen,
Our troubles would double
For the women in my life,
It would be impossible to survive
To all the ladies, sisters, mothers,
Because we can’t have any others.
No matter if I’m home or out
Women are always there for me
