CoconutCultist Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Why are girls always told "Childhood was a simpler time" This will be harder to explain Now that I have to speak in rhyme Childhood wasn't simpler Not even a little bit We were all told How to talk and drink and sit How many times were you told That your friend which was a boy Would be the one Who would eternally bring you joy? How many time were you taught How to be a perfect wife While a man went out And supplied your entire life? How many times were you scolded For playing in the dirt? How many times were you ignored When your feeling got hurt? How many times were you told When boys would all rush To pick on and bully you That boy just had a crush? How many times were you forced To wear that pretty dress? How times were you told To act like a perfect princess? How many times were you told To wait and be saved By a prince who will help you For the rest of your days? How many times were you told To discard your true self Because a man only wants A girl like a barbie on the shelf? I say we ignore all the things We have been told Be reckless, be careless. Be colorful and bold Be sassy, be bratty Be independent and brave Be funny, be goofy Be the one you will save "Childhood was simpler" That's what they all say But you and me both know That's just not the way Edited February 7, 2023 by CoconutCultist 2 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
