Just because…
Just because am a girl
That does not mean am any less than you
Just because I look different
It does mean am not human
Just because am a girl
That does not give you the right to walk all over me
Cause I too have a heart
Just like you
I get hurt and burn
Just like you
Just because am a girl
That does not mean
I don’t feel
Just cause am a girl
It does not mean I don’t feel love
Just like you experience first love
I too pass through it
Just like you embrace life
I too treasure it
Just like you break into pieces
When you lose some one
I too sense the pain
Just as you have fears
I too have mine
Just because am a girl
That does not mean
I cry for no reason
But I cry because am hurt
So if I can feel, if I can get Hurt
If I can experience love and pain
If I sense loss and fear
Just like you
Then why do you still overlook me
Am just like you
You still stone me for every mistake
Like you make none
You look at me like an object
Even though we are born the same way
You raise your voice everywhere
But you hush mine, like I have none
You whip me with your words and actions
Thinking am numb and feel none
Death is what we all fear
It’s not what I fear
But I fear the pain when you hurt me
When you make my own turn against me
So when will you see that am no less?
When will you understand that I too want to live?
When will you? When will you?
When will you see that am a girl, a woman
Not an entity for you to rip off
But as much a human as you are………
