I’m better than them.
But in reality
other girls don’t actually exist
other girls is something
told to us
from the day we first learned
that pink was our color
and make up was our thing
and our boyfriends are supposed to hold our purses
and wait for us outside.
'Other girls'
much like Snow White
and much like Cinderella
is a bed time story
told to you every single second
of every single day;
you grew up
learning to hate every other girl
you grew up
on the idea that what has been
assigned to your gender -
by a society
and a media
that wants to make money off of you -
is something to be sneered at
you grew up
on the notion that pretty and thin
are synonymous with stupid and vapid
