boys and girls

what a girl like me would do

to see through the eyes of a boy

a simple life, irises bright with pride

where the world owes me everything

and nothing, would i

 

i would walk around

with a chip on my shoulder

my head held high

pretending that nobody sees

how empty i am inside

 

inside, i long for approval

from girls and from boys alike

i treat them like temporary objects

made to fulfill my needs

only to discard them

in the end

 

in the end

solitude awaits me

this i know

 

what a boy like me would do

to see through the eyes of a girl

a whimsical life, a heart full of lies

where the world owes me nothing

and everything, would i

 

i would walk around

with a weapon inside my purse

my head held low

pretending that nobody sees

how frightened i am inside

 

inside, i long for refuge

from boys and from girls alike

instead of being seen as an object

made to fulfill their needs

only to be discarded

in the end

 

in the end

solitude awaits me

for this i hope
