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

  • Why Can’t I be Both

    Why can’t I be both 

    Why can’t I like

    Crop tops 

    And still support

    Women’s rights

    Why can’t I wear makeup 

    And still think 

    All bodies

    Are beautiful 

    Why is it bad

  • The Way Of Life

    One foot

    Infront of the other

    Head held high

    Flat expression

    On my face

    The only sign

    Of any emotion

    Are my fists

    Clenched by my sides

    Or my thumb

    Tapping each finger

  • I'm Sorry

    I'm sorry 

    I'm sorry for what 

    My country is doing 

    For what we seem to think 

    Is OK   

    I'm sorry for how 

    My president is acting
