Sitting there,
With my friends,
Hearing those whispers, those comments
They always told me that laughing loudly wasn't feminine
That girls had to behave and fit in
So I tried to be like my neighbours and friends
They were all so pretty and fitted the format
They said "talk politely
I'm letting you off the hook
Because I don't hit women"
I thought it was a joke
But didn't knew it was so common
I was taught all the hundred shades of pink
And told, one day will come a charming prince
Riding on his silver horse
To make me his
Be strong, everyone goes through this
Don't stress over a little molesting
You're crying? So weak
You're laughing? So pick-me
I wish somebody would have told me
That all bodies aren't the same
And yeah, people do have acne
Whatever I am
Whatever I wear
I'm still a girl and nothing changes that fact
I starved for days
Lost so much weight
Just to make them happy
So they don't stare at me
I wish, I wish I was told this before
That I'm perfect as a whole
Make my insecurities go away
Somebody should have told me:
That I don't have to be slim and tall
That I don't have to be calm at all
I wish somebody would've held my hands
And slowly whispered, "it's alright its okay
You're so beautiful so don't care about what they say"
