given out to lots of fun
for as long as she wants
in streets of bravado
where bravery is a curse
where feeligs are bandied about
loosely with lots of shouts
such is the blessing accorded

do beware all the heavy-set louts
here is a fighter standing proud
young as she is
often thinking out loud
never a moment too soon to shoot
a young heart set in different moulds
delicate hands flailing
not bound for wailimgs
but packs a punch
a finality,
not without a victory dance
and musing, 'I have won'

  5. “Feelings bandied about loosely...”. You describe a place and link it to a person, causation? Correlation? Answering seems like a judgment, but in any event too bad we have to fight instead of lift each other, a lot to think bout here, vivid setting.
