Am a girl.

Am I a mistake,

An identity so fake,

Should I not dance and twirl,

Just because I am a girl?

I know, I know keep quiet,

A girl speaking will cause a riot,

The boy is right, the girl is wrong,

Such stereotypes are never forgone.

Shut your mouth,

The boy is speaking,

Take a broom,

And help in housekeeping.

That's what a girl is for,

Just to cook and clean,

And to wear a smiling face,

Even when she is demeaned.

The boys will earn money,

The girls will learn their place,

It's only natural,

That a girl covers her face.

No, she is not a mistake,

Not an identity so fake,

Yes, she will dance and twirl,

Just because she is a girl.
