They want to break me.
They want to watch me fall.
Watch me shatter from the weight of the pressure.
ZRS, I've been through worse.
Pregnancy discrimination hurts.
I'm creating something beautiful-and you reprimand me for that?
Switch me into your thoughts of a hectic environment where I could crumble.
I work.
I work hard.
If I must, I will work harder-even though I thought that's where I was.
You want to break me?
The only person who could accomplish that has an initial tattooed on my body.
But you go ahead...
TRY!
