So Why Do You Think That

You think that because I’m a girl I can’t play in the dirt I have to play Barbie dolls and wear frilly pink skirts You think because he’s a boy he can’t love to dance And do ballet and love movies of romance You think because I’m smart I have to be treated differently That a student’s worth is defined by their ability, To do work and nothing more, That someone who finds school to be a bore, And just sits and draws everyday Can’t have success that way And who says we all have to go to school Then go to college cuz that’s the rule Shaping us all to be the same Because it’s all part of your twisted game, That you use us to make you look good Doing what you feel we should But if god wanted us all to be the same exact He would have done it himself and that’s just fact Since when does failing math mean you’re not smart Maybe history is your subject English music or art It’s sad that for a student who in every class has an A, Has all the stress and pressure in the world to keep that way, Because their expectations are way to advanced, And their looking to the top and not giving others a chance Pushing them with college information Like it’s an obligation, To not only be as good But to be better than they ever thought you could And who said they could tell us what to weigh That is not up to them to say We should be encouraged to be who we are Trying to change us is taking it way too far We have no creativity One at a time taking away natural our liberty What happened to the days when we were five And they encouraged our creativity and freedom to stay alive And now Instead of letting us soar like eagles in the sky We are birds with clipped wings so that we can never fly
