What if I am a girl? | Suhani

WHAT IF I AM A GIRL?

AM I NOT HUMAN?

CAN'T I BE TREATED WELL?

I ALWAYS HAVE TO FIGHT FOR MYSELF,

I DON'T GET ANYTHING EASILY,

YET BOYS ARE THE TOUGH ONES.

WHY SHOULD I DEPEND ON A MAN?

I HAVE A POTENTIAL OF MY OWN.

MOM DOESN'T LISTEN,

I SHOULD LEARN WHAT SHE KNOWS.

BOYS NEVER GROW,

BUT GIRLS SHOULD BE LADIES.

I HAVE TO COOK,

I CAN'T BE IDLE.

I CAN'T GAIN WEIGHT,

AS I AM A GIRL AND SHOULD LOOK THE PART.

I HAVE TO BE SILENT,

AND BE SOMEONE'S ARM CANDY.

HEY MOM,

LISTEN,IF YOU WANNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE;

YOU STILL CAN.

JUST DON'T TEACH ME ONLY WHAT YOU LEARNT;

INSTEAD,

LET ME SPREAD MY WINGS,

LET ME BE MYSELF,

NOT JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF PITY.
