Who among us is really that brave?
Cheers of “that a girl!” and “way to go!” seek to console us.
They tell us about bravey and fortitude, of surviving against all odds
Survivors we are…. of trouble not our own.
Holders of responsibility, of actions we did not condone.
Captains of chaos and mess, that no one has stayed to confess.
We steer the home alone, left to ourselves, little girls lost at sea
“That a girl!” they shout from the shore, to our backs they give us a wave
Lost little girls who aren’t really that brave.
