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

To wear pink

And be girly 

When I also

Care so much 

About gender equality 

Why can’t I be both 

Why can’t I be a

A “girly” girl

Who cares about 

Other people 

And wants everyone 

To have rights 

Is it because

Wearing crop tops

And makeup 

Makes me a dumb girl

Is it because people need to put

Others

Into boxes

Or because someone

Is deathly afraid

Of a girls girl 

Who has strong 

Opinions

And wants

Everyone to be safe

And have rights

Because I’ve seen both sides

I want more for everyone 

But I like who I am

I don’t want to change 

But our society

Our society needs to

Because it can’t seem

To accept 

A girl who likes

Pink

Crop tops 

Makeup

And supports

Women rights
