Prescription

When a girl was bornThey wrote their prescriptionsWithout any forewarn.  They wrote each and every wordWith there nasty needlesImposing limitations They prescribed gender role.  Giving her injections of under controlThis society made all the medicines of normsEmptying her desiresThey wrote their prescriptions.  But yes! she is strongWith the threads of innocenceAnd the agreeable tone.With the colors of hopeAnd the pleasing smile.She has followed all the prescriptions.
