I am a girl
I shave my legs
I do my makeup
I am a girl

I am not stereotype
I have short hair
I am thin, you can see my ribs and hip bones
I am not stereotype

I am not your constant comments
****, lesbian, anorexic
Freak
I am not your constant comments

I am a girl
I have feelings
I have small *******
I have bleach spots on my skin
I have really short hair
I bite my fingernails
I like to smell flowers
I am the little spoon
I wear cute clothes
I like to look pretty
I am a girl

I will not build myself to your standards
I will not destroy myself for your beliefs
I will not belittle myself for your pity

I will be me
I will have short hair and kiss boys
I will eat whatever I want want and watch my weight
Because what I am is considered healthy
I will have feelings even though they destroy me
I will look pretty because why the **** not?
I will be the little spoon because I feel safe
I will be a girl who isn't defined by sterotypes and
Constant Comments
The "I am a girl" stanzas aren't meant to be stereotypical, they are meant to just be me stating what I do to make me happy and feel like a girl. I am not a hypocrite.
