I feel so weak.

I feel so weak because, I am a girl.
A girl who tries to heal other people's lives.
A girl who always thinks that she'll just be a lifetime wife.

I feel so weak, I let my feelings outgrow me.
I hate that I doubted the one who let me speak.
A daddy's girl, that adapts his rage.
A girl who thinks she'll just wait for her husband's wages.

I'm just a girl;
A girl that a boy will laugh at whenever I don't understand math.
A girl that loves poetry but no one is proud of her poems.

I feel so weak—
Every time before I sleep
I wonder, why am I like this?
I don't wanna be weak for the rest of my life.

I try hard to discard these feelings.
Become more like a woman—
But, what about the girl in me?

I don't want to keep her forever inside the darkness in me.
So, I embrace it;
I don't care if they laugh at me.

I'd rather be
A girl who wanna be herself.
I don't care if I'm weak—
I know in myself there are other things I'm strong in.
