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.

i kissed a girl
and i liked it.
no, i'm not weird.
i refuse to conform
or for you to label
me as inferior
for following my
heart.

i am not
some trophy
or prize to be
showcased
to inflate
your ego.

i am a human being
**** it.
and i demand to
be heard.

i don't always
cross my legs
when i sit.

i don't always shave
because i am a mammal
and mammals have hair
and that's okay

if i'm being honest
i'm tired of the sterotypes
of who you want me to be.

so i'm gonna be me.
like it or not,

i'm a human being
and i demand to be heard.
Not necessarily a feminist piece but take it as you wish :)
