To Be a Girl

To be a girl

Is to constantly live

With the knowledge

That people think

You are worth nothing

To be a girl

Is to be on guard

At every second

And never ever

Let it down

To be a girl

Is to be underestimated

Because of your gender

Your looks

The stereotype

That has followed you

Like a shadow your whole life

To be a girl

Is to think

About how people

Might perceive you

And if they'll accept you

Because your not perfect

To be a girl

Is to have flaws

That you spend

Hours hiding

With makeup

With clothes

With your smile

To be a girl

Is to be everything

A man is

Better then a man

But have people

Constantly putting you down

And trying to stop you

To be a girl

Is one of the most difficult tasks

And yet there are 4.06 billion

Of us
