You're Always Enough


Girls,you need to be pretty!

Boys, you need to be tough!

If you're not then they say you're not enough!

 

Girls,you better get thin!

Boys, you better get strong!

If you don't then they say you're not enough!

 

Girls,you better be good at soft skills!

Boys ,you better be good at STEM!

If you're not then they say you're not enough!

 

Girls, you better cover up!

Boys, you better play a sport!

If you don't then they say you are not enough!

 

Girls, you better not like "boy things"!

Boys, you better not like "girl things"!

If you do then they say you're not enough!

 

Society is cruel!

Society has too many rules!

Boys and Girls just be you!

 

Girls and Boys it may be rough!

Boys and Girls hold on tight!

It doesn't matter what they say you are always enough!
