MOMTOWN: The Comic
Herstory Poem
He is the apple of his father’s eye, like a gift from his mother.
He was sent from the heavens to lift his family from burden.
He was loved and cherished, this was certain.
His eyes were curious, brimming with the possibility of what laid ahead.
His lips were rough, they never did learn to speak words of love.
His mind was sharp, slowly learning what it meant to be a man.
She was her father’s worry and her mother’s biggest mistake.
She was a punishment from the man upstairs.
She was thought to be fearful, quiet and scared.
One day she closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and spoke her mind.
All of humankind simply turned a blind eye.
Laura's Herstory Poem by Ari
She is from motherhood, from daughterhood and sisterhood.
She is from a childhood with two brothers.
She is from education, and hard work.
She is from responsibilities, part-time jobs, and bullshit from brothers.
She is from the heart of an activist and the mind of a fighter.
From women’s rights and equality for all.
She is from Judaism. From prayers over shabbat candles, her mom’s famous kugel, and a b’nai mitzvah for every kid in the house.
She is from
From the nights in high school completing homework after a shift at the local art store.
She is from the love of art and from her parents not understanding her passion.
She is from the hundreds of pictures from her life neatly organized in albums; not daring to mix up her compartmentalized life.
She is from every person in her life that told her she was not good enough.
She is from a life of being put down because she is a woman.

You hit like a girl
They say I hit like a girl. This is true, I am a girl
but that doesn’t mean I have a weak hit.
