Girls

Girls are supposed to have long hair,
Girls are supposed to have long nails,
Girls are supposed to have long eye-lashes.

Girls have to have make-up to look nice,
Girls have to have an hour-glass figure,
Girls have to have a pretty face.

Girls are expected to have good manors,
Girls are expected to be lady-like,
Girls are expected to be slightly shy.

Girls are made to wear dresses,
Girls are made to wear corsets,
Girls are made to wear skirts.

I am a girl,
I do not have long hair,
I do not have long nails,
I do not have long eye-lashes,
I do not own make-up,
I have an hour-glass figure with extra minutes,
I am not shy; I am bold and daring; I am not lady-like
I do not own dresses; corsets or skirts; I only own jeans.

I am a girl who chooses my own path,
I am who I choose to be,
Don't make me be someone I'm not.
