I'm a girl
Yes a girl, I speak before you now
I am a girl, both hated and loved
Hiding my scars like the cloth over my body
Being that picture of beauty and perfection
Speak not for myself
Limit my truth
I speak for myself I'm shut down
And down and down
Turning my truth to lies, I tell I'm not an object for your fun.
I don't exist to please your wants
I don't exist to look pretty and play defenseless
A girl I am, strong I'm not to be
But strong, I stand against you
You and your words that shut me down
You and those who like to use me for their enjoyment
I look to you with not eyes of hatred
But with eyes that speak one with my thoughts of my knowledge, my power
A girl I am and a girl I shall stand
I stand here for those others who fear
I keep the knowledge that life isn't fair, truth will be lied, and being equal can never mean the same.
But still I will stand
Here I will speak
Speak as I am
Yes I'm a girl
And a girl I stand
