Oh How I Wish I Were A Girl

How I wish I were a girl

Able to hold my chin up high

Screaming on the top of my lungs for woman's rights

To twirl in dresses

And engage in meaningless chatter

Fawn over boys

And get swept off my feet

To be able to do anything in heels

Smile with thick red lips

And have a tinkling laugh

As my small shoulders bounce up and down

I wish I could swerve my hips

Pout my lips

Grow my hair long

Paint my face interesting shades

And engage in intricate fashion

I wish I was happy with the chromosomes and parts I was born with

But I'm not any of that
