Sometimes I wish I was like other girls That I was able to do hair and makeup That I could understand shoes and acrylics Instead I read, write, and learn I can write poetry and short stories I can understand foreign languages and cultures Still I feel like I am lacking Something I was born to know I'm a girl So why don't those girlish things Come to me as easy as breathing Other girls learn them like its riding a bike To me it's like trying to solve an algebraic equation And its well known I hate math It's simply a language I do not speak
