I'm just a girl

I adore being told im beautiful

But I'll never believe it

Im not right all the time

But i hate to admit when im wrong

I smile as often as i can

But it's not always real

I am as readable as a book

But i hide so much

I work as hard as i can

But don't always get what i deserve

Because i'm just a girl

I'm just a girl

I don't have pockets in my jeans

Or freedom to dress as i wish

''Too short'', ''too tight''

''Too low'' , ''too big''

i m unable to voice my opinion

As a man does and have them heard

Yet i think them

Im as vulnerable as a baby

But hard and cold as ice.

Im objectified like a piece of meat

But am not allowed to embrace it

I'm just a girl

being taught all the wrong things about the world

Because I'm just a girl.
