Girls
We are what they tell us to be


Girls
One mistake and our lives are ruined


Girls
We are seen as a weak link. But why?


Girls
We want to be what they tell us to be


Girls
Some of us don’t have our own minds


Girls
Some let others control our actions. But why?



Girls
Are we really who we want to be?


Girls
Is there more to us then we know or see?


Girls
When will our voices be heard?


Girls
When will our words stop being seen as absurd?

This piece is how I think the lives of us/some girls are portrayed as. I hope that the girls that read this will be able to see what I am talking about or at least understand what I mean.
