I wish

I wish I was a boy
A boy can do so many things
Walk down the street without worry
Without harsh perverted stares

I wish I was a boy
So liking girls would be okay
And I could live life everyday
Knowing I'd be safe
Without fear of being raped

I wish I was a boy
So I could do "boy" things
Work on cars, build things, lift weights
Without all the sexist hate
Along with what the stares await

I wish I was a boy
Do I really
Need to say more?
