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

    What do I do if falling in love

    Is like freefalling but not knowing where

  • Can't Change Me

    She upsets me

    Her face

    The way she laughs

    The way she talks

    She's like the piece of hair

    That is never in the right place

    Why does she even wear that

    Why does she look like that

    Looking at her
