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

  • A Mix

    My face is a mix of my parents'

    I have my dad's eyes

    And hair

    I have my moms features

    And skin tone

    But it all pulled together

    To make my face

    My face with brown hair and eyes

    Pink lips

  • My Hair and My Eyes

    My hair is brown

    It doesn't have highlights

    Or a red tint

    It doesn't shine

    In the sun

    It's just brown

    It's not long

    Or layered

    There's no light brown

    Hidden in the dark brown

  • A Story About A Girl

    Let me tell you story

    A story about a girl

    Who had the same longing for adventure

    As little Red Riding Hood

    And the same urge for freedom

    As Rapunzel

    Let me tell you a story

    About a girl
