Being a Girl
May 14, 2020
What does it mean to be a girl in society?
To live in a man’s world being scolded for sitting slantingly
To see countless ads screaming at her to lose the weight
Or telling her to gain it like she didn’t just puke the meals that she ate
It’s heartbreaking
To see videos of young girls crawling in their skin
To wish they weren’t the way God created them instead
They want to be that girl
The beauty standards pushed on them to be that girl
Maybe they’ll get touched up so they can be that girl
Oh my god I have to find that dress she wore, that girl
What beauty product did she use, that girl?
Lose ten pounds more to be that girl?
It’s sickening
That us girls are bringing each other down constantly
They pick on a girl viciously
Then when she posts a pic, a million people jump to the comments instantly
It’s bittersweet
That the rise in hate is unlocking the Pandora Box of low self esteem
That being a feminist is now a bad thing
But mark my words
This man’s world is going down, crumbling
The society’s standards will be lessening
Because when us girls stand up
Breaking basic bewildering standards to be benevolent
Will we truly rise
