I am a Girl


I’m also human, not a bedpan I deserve to be adorned with pearl not merles I’m a girl, a skirl I am not ment for kitchen because I’m not a lichen, I am not meant only for the bedroom Because I’m from the womb not tearoom. I’m a girl not a thurl I am not meant to carry tray but I can pray also. I’m a girl not a curl I am not meant to stay at home I can gloam than a boy I’m a girl an earl not a knurl I’m not born by chance not by mistake I deserve to be a child not a slave You slap Give me a space I deserve to smile at the sun Please don’t murder my dreams
