Just a Girl

by: Edna Soave

Just because I am a girl,

It doesn’t mean I’m weak,

Doesn’t mean I’m not good enough,

Doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be treated the same,

I am just as worthy as my boy peers.

Just because I am a girl,

It doesn’t mean I am not smart,

Doesn’t mean I’m too emotional,

Doesn’t mean I’m not talented,

I am complex and well-rounded.

Just because I am a girl,

It doesn’t mean I can’t love and play sports,

Doesn’t mean I can’t play rock n’ roll,

Doesn’t mean I can’t like dresses and makeup,

I am who I want to be not who you think I should be.
