I am made by your opinions, not skin.
I am polite as i am vulnerable. And i am quite when your bass speaks.
I cover up as men stare,lustfull eyes look if your skin is too bare.
I dress to impress,I cannot be a mess.
If i am too lean i am anorexic, If i am too chubby i am fat.
If i wear specs,i must surely play chess.
If i walk with my head held high my ego is too big.
If i look into your eyes I'm probably overconfident.
If i see your flaws i am too judgmental.
I am a woman, not of skin but of your words.

That's all we hear
Everyday
Over and over again
When does it end
When will the stigma fade?
Girls,
We are beautiful
We are strong
We are not;
Fragile
Made of sugar and spice and everything nice
We are made of steel
We are born of strong mothers
And Grandmothers who went through it all
Who carried the weight of the world on their backs to make a better world for us.
We are told from a young age that we can't do anything
And I'm here to change that
Be you
Be strong
Be like a girl.
