When I was 5 I wanted to be a dolphin, When I was 8 I Wanted to be a hairdresser, At 12 I wanted to join the army.
And now I want to be safe. When I dreamed of growing up I was excited for freedom. I never thought i be in the same trap I've been stuck in since I started puberty I dreamed of falling in love like my parents, Like my grandparents.
But now I'm stuck in a generation that is random nudes on snapchat is the new romance. ‘It’s my fault’ I have curves, long hair, big chest. We have be singing the same song since forever, We finally added a new chorus in 1920, But now it’s time for a new one, No one is listening to music from 100 years ago. No one thinks it’s still relevant .
When I was 13 I wanted to be beautiful, When I was 14 I wanted to be skinny At 15 I wanted to be successful.
I don’t want to be cat called in the street, Boys it’s no compliment It’s scary. I’m scared. Always fearful . I don’t want to walk alone at night Don’t want to pass a group of boys Having that pit in the bottom of your stomach is exhausting.
I am someone’s daughter. I am someone’s sister, someone’s cousin, someone's friend. I am not here for your pleasure. Don't comment on my instagram that I am Hot and you be DTF. Don't tell me i'm asking for it When I wear a dress when it's 20 degrees.
When I was 16 I wanted to travel the world And now at 17, I don't want to leave my room.
