Be more than a perfect body with a pretty hairdo.

I opened my eyes to the truth about being a girl.

or "Her ass looks like a racetrack with those stretch marks,

I never grew up thinking of those things.

Don't blame me, but when I thought about boys,

I thought about dinner dates and soulmates,

not fuckboys that look at you like shark bait.

It breaks my heart for every girl growing up in this world.

Instead of "How was your day?" messages, we get,

Do not assume that I belong in your bedroom.

and for anyone who thinks that this generation is so vain,

unless you can cross everything off the checklist.

includes small nose, plump lips, bony hips.

Hairless, careless, but still has an awareness.

In all fairness, I wanna be seen as beautiful, too.

in our hands because we will not sit back and nod and smile,

while certain people reconcile the rules to be fertile.

I may be a young lady, but my dad always taught me

to speak out and fight against injustice of every kind,

so here I am speaking out for all my ladies in the house.

We will not stop the fight until we hold our rights

sexual identity, and place in this world,

and that is the truth about being a girl.
