I am just a girl

I am just a GIRL,
and I want my voice HEARD.
My head is in the clouds,
You say that's bad,
when yours is in the gutter.
I am just a GIRL,
and I want to SCREAM.
My heart on my sleeve,
You say that's bad,
When yours is gone.
I am just a GIRL,
and I want to be SEEN.
Scared to talk,
but you won't give me a chance.
I am just a GIRL,
And I want my voice HEARD.
