The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Against All Odds Laying in a hospital bed, Fighting to stay alive, Friends and family preparing for the worst, Odds against me to survive, My eyes close, Images then appear, A multitude of memories, As I hear my mother in tears, Obstacles presented everyday, One hurdle after another, Tripping and falling to the ground, Scraped, bloodied, but refusing to lie down, From complications at birth, To epilepsy at 4, A man stealing my innocence, A grand mal and brain tumor, Surgery to fix the seizures, An unknown illness of two years, Deceived into a nightmare, Desensitized to fear, I open my eyes, A smile comes across my face, Strength re-instilled, From my mouth, laughter emanates, The odds have always been against me, From birth until now, I know I’ll get through this, Scraped, bloodied, and never lying down.

An outspoken feminist shows more cleavage to the masses with what she’s wearing (or isn’t wearing) than Mark Wahlberg did in his Funky Bunch days, and seems unphased by the perverted remarks she receives due to the attire. I would think that a feminist would want to garner attention and respect through hard work, achievement and status, as opposed to sex appeal. But that's just my theory. I've been wrong before. I'll be right back. I'm going to streak along the street in an attempt to win respect for my gender.
