to live as a boy is to be free.

boyhood is childhood in all its glory.

it is to play fights in the park and

summers spent on the beach butt naked.

to live as a boy is to be eternally young,

excluded from the burden of maturity.

spiteful words left unpunished and

simple acts praised.

to live as a boy is to be envied.

for boys will always be boys,

girls will never be girls.

girls must be women.

to live as a girl is to be robbed.
