Just because I’m a girl

Doesn’t mean I’ll look like a Barbie doll

Doesn’t mean I like make-up

And doesn’t mean I like dresses

Just because I’m a girl

Doesn’t mean I’m emotional

Doesn’t mean I can’t be in a STEM field

And doesn’t mean I have to have kids

Just Because I’m a girl

Doesn’t mean I can’t play video games

Doesn’t mean I do everything to impress a boy

And doesn’t mean I’m not strong

Just because I’m a girl

Do I have to like pink?

Do I have to be the “damsel in distress?”

Can’t I just be myself?

I’m a human

Not “just a girl.”
