If I was a boy

If was a boy 

Would you question me

Would you call me intense

If I had an opinion 

If I was a boy

How would you look at me 

Would you know that I worked hard

That I didn’t get help

That I deserved this

If I was a boy 

Would I be mocked

For questioning you

And telling you to stop being rude

Would I have to have a comeback 

Prepared and ready 

Knowing that you might attack at any minute 

If I was a boy 

Could I dream bigger 

And have more role models 

Would people support me more

Tell me I deserved this

If I was a boy 

I wouldn’t have been a girl

I wouldn’t have been a women

I wouldn’t have been

Strong

Fierce

Independent 

Amazing 

Brave

Thank god I'm a girl

    All the things we did wrong

    So we can get better

    But some people
